Oh great.
just more anti-semitism from the left, and an attempt to gin up muslim hatred by linking israel to US efforts.
I trust NewsMax a lot.
They are one of my favorite news venues that I visit online.
I don't know what to make of this article, though, but I trust the journalism of the NewsMax folks.
NewsMax is as far from the left that journalism can get.
They are a solid conservative source of news.
I have always been a big fan of the reporting that NewsMax has done on the issue of how Communist China is not a friend of our nation.
There isn't one named source in this article. Not one. We have:
"Diplomatic sources in Washington..."
"...one source familiar with the U.S. operations..."
"It was explained that..."
"...one source asked."
"Word in NYC diplomatic circles ..."
"...according to Arab diplomats at the U.N."
Since NOT ONE source is named, I maintain a healthy skepticism of the entire article.
I have assumed from the beginning that Israel has been advising/helping us in clandestine ways in the war on terror. The relations between the Mossad and CIA and MI6, and a number of other intelligence services, go back 50-odd years. They are on the front lines, have the most experience, and understand the Arab mentality far better than we do, and they are our most dependable allies in this fight. All the leftist whining about Zionist neocons won't change the facts.
It never says in the articles that this info came from the US. It came from "diplomatic sources" which makes the anonymous reports highly suspect in my book.
It's a headline, Newsmax is a news site.
Conservative or liberal they're in it for the hits.
The writer ignores the fact that these "methods" were discontinued (internally) by the IDF and Mossad since a 1998 Israeli Supreme Court ruling outlawing them, unfortunately.
I am skeptical as well.
However, I trust NewsMax and have always had the utmost confidence in their reporting.
That is very true.
Israel's security establishment does not use heavy-handed tactics.
They respect human rights of detainees.
The way he told the story this was a common belief in Washington (whether it was true or not).
On the surface it looks like just another version of "blame the Jews". However, when you dig into it a little further, the whole idea cracks up on the rocks of PFC England's alleged sexual escapades with multiple partners.
Not likely she needed Mossad to teach her any of that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The name Israel does not necessarily indicate someone being Jewish.
Israel is a common first name in Catholic Latin America.
what the hell has happened to NewsMax over the last two weeks...
They have tacked so hard its wierd...the damaging Bush screeds are rampant...
Anyone else notice this...or even WND...
What the hell is going on?
I am very ashamed of PFC England.
She is not a virtuous lady, for sure.
I wish she had never joined our military, since she looks like she does not have any character to her soul.
Whenever there is trouble and you need a scapegoat...just blame it on the Jews .
When has NewsMax damaged Bush with their reporting??!?
