Douglas Valentine's Scathing Review of Jeremy Scahills 'Dirty Wars'

[Peter Lemkin]

Doug is definitely on a roll ::coolrock:: and he definitely has a point. But fortunately it's not the only point as Dawn and Peter point out.

I have the highest respect for DV and nothing that follows is meant as criticism of him. That said, I believe all of us who are in the know about the hidden secrets and players of the Deep Political Powers/Events [certainly more powerful and influential than the 'ordinary' visible politics and politicians], have different levels of awareness [lets call it depth we can see or have explored into the Deep Political shit], as well as different approaches of how to best bring this to the alarmed attention of the Public, at large. While someone who's analyses are wrong or in the enemy camp should be vilified, IMHO, brutal attacks on those who only differ in approach or who have a less-deeply enlighten view of events and powers, past and present, should be critiqued, criticized, but not pilloried. There are many in society who just can not or will not listen to those of us who have a more radical [if more realistic] stance/outlook. Just my two cents. It will take all progressive forces and persons to turn this mess around and save the Planet and human societies from total destruction at the hands of the growing neo-fascism/neo-feudalism, Worldwide. IMHO
