#3 I say it is all crap. DEBKA is not to be believed if they are the only source reporting something. I have *never* seen an accurate report from them when they are the sole source.

Also, there was an earlier report also sourced DEBKA that said something about "packs" of journalists being there. Fine ... but one thing journalists never do is keep their mouths shut. We would have heard about it by now.

#4 And if Pelosi is headed to Syria, that would be another indication that nothing is going to happen. Either that or she is headed there to tip them off like that other idiot did before the invasion of Iraq. But Pelosi isn't going to go anywhere near a live combat area. The frikken Iranians would capture her and have ANOTHER hostage to add to their historical pile of hostages.

#6 The Iranians and Syrians won't touch her or any of the delegation. They know who their allies are.

#7 Crosspatch, I occasionally read DEBKA and just store their information in the back of my mind. I've seen one article where they were the only source and partially verified it. Google "Leslie Ann Shedd". Very interesting as she does pop up in ssdi.

#9 Yeah, even a stopped clock is correct twice a day but DEBKA is really, really bad most of the time. The reason I get all over it quickly is in the case someone who isn't familiar with DEBKA were to pop in and read that. I want them to know that it isn't likely to be true. It really bugs me to see them quoted on what I consider a site that often has some very good news links. It honestly is like quoting Weekly World News as far as I am concerned.

Not saying DEBKA sourced items shouldn't be posted, just that a second source should be located and if not found, the reader should be warned that it is probably a fabrication.
