Received a copy of Richard Miniter’s Disinformation in the mail the other day, and blazed through it in near-record time.
The book’s subtitle is “22 Media Myths That Undermine the War on Terror” – and it really is what it claims to be. Myths 12-15 cover the many, many links between Saddam Hussein an al Qaeda. While much of it wasn’t new to me, it’s certainly handy to have everything gathered together in one chapter.
Pick yourself up a copy, and keep it close to your computer monitor; it makes for a handy reference while you read the news. That, and it’s just heavy enough to hit your screen with a satisfying “thwap” when all else fails.
What Steve said. The book is excellent.
You are so fucking stupid it pains me
“You are so fucking stupid it pains me”
Foot-in-mouth is bad enough, but head-up-ass at the same time has got to world-class awkward.
I haven’t seen any blog mention that one of his myths has been reportedly destroyed. There is a report that is floating about the internet, reported once in a Savannah (?) newspaper, about al Qeada operatives arrested while attempting a border crossing into the US.
Tom Tancredo also gave reports of training camps in Mexico on KFI 640 Los Angeles last week.
Any one seen anything on these two threads recently?
