    No Harvey,
           I am referring in my entirety to the bizarre position you took in the
    off the wall post to which I referred. Here is what you said: "What are you
    talking about? The US News media allowed their reporters to be embedded in
    the army and allowed their reports to be controlled, censored and dictated by
    the army. As far as I can tell, the news media was totally controlled by the
    army's propaganda and disinformation service. They reported exactly what
    they were told to report, whether it was true or not. I try to ignore
    political rants, because they are always biased, but this is so obviously
    180-degrees opposed to reality that I can't even imagine what you are talking
    about."

           I cannot see how an informed person could possibly make that series of
    statements and expect to be considered serious and responsible. I lampooned
    you to an extent and perhaps you feel I was excessive -- in that case I can
    only plead provocation.
