    To JSTRICK

    Sadly, the media seems to operate on an amazingly counterproductive wavelength when it comes to whose opinions on the war to trust:

    The more wrong you were on the war, the more right you must be after the fact.

    That's the only thing I can think of to explain why those who got it right and were ignored are STILL ignored.
