For me, this is quite an amazing, enjoyable and insightful discussion.
It was interesting to see how Congressmen lined up to defend the US position on Israel with such alacrity. One almost feels that they felt their funding was being threatened - or am I being too cynical? Maybe I am?
But I have to say that I immensely enjoyed Michael Scheuer telling them what he thought of them. He set out the six reasons why the US is hated by international jihadists - placing in first place US support of tyranny for over fifty years, and typified one Congressman's argument that it was because of American freedom, democracy, defence of women's rights as "Bullshit sir!"
The Congressman, caught in his own web of arguments tries to extricate himself. "I'm going to move on", he says. "I wish you would move on", says a grinning Scheuer. Delightful.
I like this guy...

:The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
