| Kathryn Jean Lopez, "The Corner" @ National Review In response to this Newsday piece — "British pullout in Iraq leaves Basra in chaos" — Michael Yon e-mails from Basra: "This report is false. I am in Basra and there certainly is no chaos here." If it's a credibility duel between the MSM and Michael Yon, I know who I'd believe. |

| #6 If it's Michael Yon versus the MSM and Chuck Hagel in the Credibility Bowl, I'm taking Yon to beat the spread. |

| #5 Well, yeah, but you guys overlooked this little detail: Last month, Sen. Chuck Hagel, a prominent Republican on the Senate Armed Services committee, alleged at Senate hearings on Iraq that southern Iraq was out of control. "What I was told ... is lawless gangs of marauders of Shia militia are in charge in Basra and the four [southernmost] provinces. As you both know, two governors have been assassinated in the last two months. I was told by one individual who has been down there recently that we are essentially paying tribute to these people to keep open the port." See? So it must be true! |

| #4 At this point it would be a tie vs. Castro and the MSM at who is most credible Castro knows more about American agricultural policies. I gotta lean towards the beard. |
