Doubt

It seems that if a fact is presented on Salon, it is true, if on Fox it is not. Why do we believe that this letter is even real? It is extremely neatly written in very small script on clean paper. He would have had to have ink, pen , a flat surface , and lighting to do this. We know that many of the detained were innocents turned over by dishonest men to gain money, to serve their own ends,and to get a bit of the American largesse being handed over to anyone who turned up a 'Terrorist'. That sort of duplicity is not seen as such in the Arab world, if it means making fools of and using Westerners, non-believers.Sorting these men out will be difficult since so few Americans understand the Arab world at all. But what better way to make fools of us again, and put pressure on a regime in Jordan that you don't like because it is too close to the West, than to create lots of interesting tales of torture. There is torture going on all over the world, but right now it pays to blame us for everything. Don't trust any source, the layers are really deep.

The Point

This is an excellent movie that my children, now in their 20's, still remember.

Please include The American Rabbit and The Brave Little Toaster, both very good newer animation and again favorites of my children,even now.

The poster boy for progressive self-delusion
