    There are a few dissenters out there

    There are a few foreign policy dissenters that have been dissenting for quite a while, Zinn, Chomsky, Fisk, and ... uh ... a handful of other professors. But none of these guys are ever allowed into the "scholar at a think tank" club. You can't even mention those names on television without getting your mike cut. The whole "serious" thing is just a ruse to keep certain ideas from ever being mentioned.
