Counterpunch's Jeffrey St. Clair reports on the Bush administration's role in the clandestine "rendition" of suspected terrorists around the world. The corporate community is implicated. Who is behind the Gulfstream V jet?
Well it just has to be the Jews, doesn't it? They were responsible for the death of Elvis Presley and the disappearance of Shergar, you know. And they probably stole the election for George Bush (despite most of them voting Democrat). Reality based people like you and Fisk have known this all along.
Very comfortable with the Counterpunch 'sort', thanks for caring. Anti-Zionist may be completely unthinkable in most Western thought, but I'm happy to be one myself.
Michael Jericho, I don't understand the purpose of your post. You obviously have an issue with Counterpunch, but you don't address the article that Antony linked to. I am interested in your thoughts on the article rather than a blanket slating of the publication. Do you believe the article to be false? Do you believe the USA involves itself in the "rendition" process? If so, do you believe that the "rendition" process meets with international law, or should be exempt from international law? What moral compass do we use to compare ourselves to the declared enemies of the state. If we only torture 500 people or only kill 10,000 innocents does that make all okay? At what point do we say enough.
I am also confused by your allegations of Counterpunch having "a recurrent problem with Hebrew folk". Now I must admit I don't read Counterpunch religiously, however I don't think it is stretching the point too far to suggest that being opposed to the Govt of Israel is not the same as being anti semetic.If you believe it is, the entire Israeli opposition is anti semetic. As I said, I don't read Counterpunch regularly, and if you have any examples where they have displayed an anti semetic, rather than an anti govt bias, I will be more than happy to read them.
