Harvey et.al, made a good point, well taken. We are not at war
with Islam, we are at war with terrorists. The fake Korans wouldnt
work for that reason. Information tech is a double edged sword.
Speaking of which, that biz that Joe Dees posted about Falwell
and Robertson, have we any secondary proof that they really
said those words? I can see where someone could post disinfo
that could be innocently picked up and reposted. Did anyone
actually hear the broadcast or offer a major news org that
confirms it? I am surprised as hell that two players as politically
savvy as these two clowns would say such a thing. They would
hafta know it would blow up in their faces to use this tragedy
as a chance to ride a political hobby horse. spike
