Keith,
I prefer to attack theories and arguments rather than people and institutions. As an example, even though the CIA has committed many acts inconsistent with their charter, that does not mean that everything they have said or done is wrong. Each item must be weighed for its own merit. So too, even IF the Heartland Institute was questionable about some things, still your claiming that they are therefore wrong about this issue is not a valid argument.
I would like to see an argument that addresses the issues not the messenger.
