    Thanks! But it's not just me. Amara, Damiaen, Eliezer, Emlyn, Hubert,
    James, Jeff, Mez, Olga, Samantha and I have all been recently accused of
    somehow supporting the enemy. These baseless personal attacks seem to be a
    widespread problem.

    I disagree. There is no tiny kernel of truth. None of these people have
    ever given any indication of supporting the enemy. The attacks are baseless
    slander. They are based on these people not jumping on the bandwagon to
    support the war and the president. Any liberal, democratic or peaceful
    position is being lumped in as being anti-American. This is incorrect. It
    is slanderous. And it is off-topic for this list.

    These are our friends being accused of war crimes. This is excessive. What
    is going on here?
