Not only that for illogically invoking the work of Lisa and Jim not to mention my own looks into the Janney, Douglas world of nefarious bollocks. Of course CD according to you Janney and Douglas are on a par with say Lisa and Jim. How dumb and lacking in deep political insight I have been to think otherwise. That was my point.
I still berate you for reviewing a book before it is published. Think about it.
Your championing of Lisa and Jim do them no favors whatsoever. Nor do you honor yourself with your dunderheaded misinterpretation of my words. I made no comparison between James Douglass and anyone -- least of all Ms. Pease and Messrs. Janney and DiEugenio.
Douglass is sui generis. A favorable comparison of the works of Pease and DiEugenio to the Douglass oeuvre is, in a word, embarrassing. And not to Douglass.

Since the CIA don't generally have generals floating around flouting their CIA credentials nowadays thus it's all a bit of a mess.
Kernel Klink could not have produced more insightful and eloquent prose.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
