I suggested that you read more of his stuff, and that the idea that he is paid under the table by Bush is ridiculous. That's all I said, and I repeat it.

You have no idea who Yon is, what his history is, what he's been writing about, or what he's gone through. I have been reading his work since the beginning of 2005, and he has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. He has criticized the war where it needed it, supported it where it deserved it, and has been the most balanced reporter I have seen over there so far.

You don't think I screen my sources? I sure as hell do a better job of it that almost everyone else here.

You can call me a bonehead, or an idiot, or all the rest. Meanwhile, I'm accused of being abusive. Believe me, sometimes it's not easy to refrain from it.
