#1 Of course, that was 50 years ago, and much has changed since then.

Excuse me, NOTHING... "has changed since then."

#2 Just thinking out loud...
If I wanted to discredit a story, what better way than to leak it to someone like Seymour. In addition to the basic plot, you would include lots of juicy details to add authenticity, but don't forget to hide one or two tidbits that can be easily shown to be false.

#4 Yeah, read the Hersh thing. Lotsa colorful details, and not a single traceable fact. Buncha "couldabeen".

#5 Guardian praised Hersh years ago but today they sweep him under the rug. Boundary placed on him. Little or no interest in today's media. Especially UK, Germany and many others in the West in isolated cabal. Stifle debate, freedom, democracy, rule of law. What sort of Democracy are we.

#6 /\ Excellent point Dale.

#7 Democracy is now a poisoned word, like gay or spade. It has a loaded meaning that has nothing to do with what it used to mean.

#9 Us: "If you dare do that thing that you're gonna do anyway, so help us, we'll kill some kittens! And you'll look really mean and the whole world will hate you! Uh..." [kittens queue for ferry to Vyborg]

#10 Re-read a Guardian article the other day (no, really!) after finally watching the old HBO Chernobyl thing. Sounded kinda familiar...

OG propaganda goes global
A Motherland's pain to ennoble:
"Many do not deny
That a CIA spy
Played a prominent role at Chernobyl."

Crazy crazy crazy! Or, "Spinning again, Andrei?"
