Magda,
While it is true that the several Albert(s) Doyle certainly agree with Mark, it also remains true that the entity is comprised of approximately 4 persons (no more than 5) by my estimation. And 4 hardly qualifies as "many" in the big scheme of things.
Damn right I disagree, Magda!
Damn right I agree, Greg!
Magda, you know -- and every reader of this post needs to know -- that I harbor boundless respect for your intellect, values and courage, and for the breadth of your expertise in deep political matters.
And that doesn't begin to express my affection for you.
But no one can master every aspect of the subjects we study.
My respect for Greg is deeply akin to the esteem in which I hold you. But with all due respect and to the best of my ability to judge, Greg's expertise in the discovery and outing of agents provocateur, like my own, is superior to yours.
"Albert Doyle" is most accurately described not as a person, but as an operation.
Period.

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.
