  • US vs. Iran

    [Read the article: The art of neoconservative innuendo]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Many posters mentioned the 1953 coup and the murderous reign of the Shah, but wait: there's more. The US also supported Saddam's invasion (hundreds of thousands dead, millions of refugees) and shot down an Iranian civilian airliner.

    We have the luxury of forgetting/denying these crimes, but the people of Iran cannot forget.

  • Glen's Being Kind To McCain

    [Read the article: Journalists, McCain and the false Iran/al-Qaida link]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    Someone else probably made this point already, but let's all remember that saying McCain has gawd-awful national security judgement is the most charitable interpretation possible. Equally plausible is that McCain knows Mid-East wars make us less safe, but simply places a higher priority on controlling the world's oil.

    We can't read McCain's mind so we'll never know, and it's beyond the scope of Glen's post anyway (two reasons I assume Glen left it out) but it's worth mentioning.

  • Glenzilla v. Ana Marie Cox

    [Read the article: Book news and media campaign coverage]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    This poor woman by her own admission does not belong in this discussion with Glen Greenwald.

    Also, if McCain had referred to the LA Dodgers as the Brooklyn Dodgers 4 times in a row, the pundits would have eaten him alive.

  • Kristol HAS Sacrificed

    [Read the article: Bill Kristol, great man of sacrifice, on the duties of Passover]
    [Read more letters about this article: Here]

    As Glenn chronicles on a weekly basis, people like Kristol have made tremendous sacrifices in their own minds. They feel persecuted; public opinion has turned against them, so they have awkward moments at cocktail parties now. Yet still they sally forth.
