Uh I keep coming back to naive. You think this is any different than any war in any time in history. Our minds work overtime raising the standards of truth. Nevertheless, you are saying you are drinking Waxman's Koolaid.
This sort of talk is the sort that had Jim Robinson calling you names. This is the most accurate and timely information a society has ever had in a time of war. Folks who want to complain about their mink coat being itchy can find someone to listen to the rant. That doesn't mean that real people don't know better than give it any mind.
You said — “Uh I keep coming back to naive. You think this is any different than any war in any time in history. Our minds work overtime raising the standards of truth. Nevertheless, you are saying you are drinking Waxman’s Koolaid.”
Well, I see many government agencies doing that kind of stuff, wartime or not. It seems to be a habit with them (and legislators, too for that matter). As far as Waxman, I’ve seen several people raise his name up, althought I haven’t heard a word he’s said on the issue. I have no idea what he’s saying. I never voted for him and if he was in my area, I wouldn’t.
But, somehow the issue of “telling the truth” — seems to be perceived as “Waxman’s territory” — for some unknown reason. I had no idea Waxman was such an advocate of the government telling the truth (or a legislator, for that matter, like I said above).

Lastly — “This sort of talk is the sort that had Jim Robinson calling you names. This is the most accurate and timely information a society has ever had in a time of war.

Well, you misunderstood that quote then. Robinson didn’t call me that. He called someone else that. I was just making reference to that statement from Robinson, in light of someone else’s comments.
And without getting any more bogged down in the issue, the general idea that I’m following is that it doesn’t matter what party is involved or what government agency is involved — they all better be telling the truth of the matter, whatever their area of expertise is.
If Waxman is somehow championing that idea (and I have no idea because I don’t listen to him) — well, all I can say, then (if he’s doing) is he must have been reading me on Free Republic....
