#1 An excellent article by Ralph Peters.

#2 Yep, and while Ralph gets it right, the WaPo says al Qaeda's only getting more dangerous.

#3 But their problem for the WAPO and other Alphabets is that anyone truly interested in following the WOT now only reads them to find out what the spinners find necessary to spin. Tell me, who here among us doesnât pick up one of these papers and think, âletâs see how they are spinning it todayâ.

Oh sure, they reach voters not paying attention, which is their goal. But anyone actually following the war gets their new elsewhere and only considers the NYT and WAPo informative when things have gotten so bad for their side that they are forced to ignore it or lie.

#4 B, I hope you use gloves when you pick up the paper. You never know what's in it or where it's been. Safe surfing is the only way to go.

#5 I don't look at a newspaper and think "spin". The words I think are much blunter.
