#1 Yep, a really good pie fight in the making.

Of course, I've always thought Tailgunner Joe was right about the influences of the Communist party in the US. And I would say the smearing he took at the hands of the media only reinforced that opinion in me.

His tactics stunk but he was right about what he said was going on in Hollywood and the Media and in the colleges and universities.

#2 I thought the soviet files released afyer the wall fell pretty much confirmed Joe was right.

#3 Correct. KGB files declassified after the collapse of the USSR (Venona cables) proved that Comintern infiltration went much further than even the most paranoid anti-communists suspected. But it was predictable, to a few careful observers. Distinguished historian Robert Conquest subsequently quipped that he would re-title his book "I F***ing Told You So."

I still don't get why everyone was so upset with West. I never read her book, but what did she do that was so wrong and awful? Seems to me that leftists, deprogrammed or not, are just argumentative, unpleasant people who can't stop themselves from ripping each others' throats out over trivial doctrinal deviations.

#4 It is my understanding that less than one percent of the Vanona cables have been decrypted. I wonder what happened to the others? Wouldn't it make sense for the NSA (or Defense Intelligence, or FBI, or something) to make them available to everyone, especially those interested in cryptography?

#5 If you turned them over to NSA all of the juicy stuff would be lost due to a hard drive crash about 30 seconds after some interesting names appeared in the documents.
