Dear Chris,
The most fascinating aspect of the debate over Republic vs. Empire since at least 1754, has been the use of garbled verbiage/verbal garbage to confuse the issue. That continues today on the part of both the Empire people (especially), but also the supposed opponents of Empire, as witness my recent exchanges here with the emotional Justin Raimondo, whose ad hominum outbursts revealed something of his lack of clarity of thought about the issues involved. He remains, however, an excellent investigative reporter.
If you have not read it yet, I suggest The Record of the Paper: How the New York Times Misreports US Foreign Policy by Friel & Falk. The second volume on the reportage on the US & Israel should be a real zinger that JR will love.
Regards,
Bill
