That makes it mean more right there for sure since they provided no link or anything. "how do you reconcile a paper like theirs" --Not sure what you mean. I don't reconcile it. I mean sure, the rightwing/nationalist/Jew-hating/"Patriot"/Spotlight types have been right about certain stories, but it's the context that they have all fucked up. Even in that article, the RIIA/CFR are the center of Zionism rather than WASPyness? Come on. To me, anything kookier than The New American is not worth the time. And I don't really even read them anymore now that Will's gone. Interesting note about Indyk, but there are many imperialist theorists of many descriptions who push the same sort of "rogue state rollback" without Israel much in mind at all. “I clearly remember this article in 1993 when it was first printed.”

“how do you reconcile a paper like theirs”

–Not sure what you mean. I don’t reconcile it. I mean sure, the rightwing/nationalist/Jew-hating/”Patriot”/Spotlight types have been right about certain stories, but it’s the context that they have all fucked up. Even in that article, the RIIA/CFR are the center of Zionism rather than WASPyness? Come on. To me, anything kookier than The New American is not worth the time. And I don’t really even read them anymore now that Will’s gone.

They have been right about many things going back into the 1960's. They have won awards for Project Censored in the past. My question for you is how do you reconcile a paper like theirs which has some pretty good reporters? Scott

Actually, I consider both AFPs to be trash, now that I think about it... I read the article and that wouldn’t surprise me, though I consider the “other” AFP to be trash.
