And in any case, having an agenda does not necessarily mean that your information is always inaccurate. Just ask Matt Drudge about that blue Gap dress.

I recently had a thread pulled because the source was DEBKA. It involved the reluctance of the Saudis to give us bases. A week later, it is pretty apparent that there was at least as much "fire" generating the "smoke" of that article as most of the "mainstream" press articles posted on here.

The thread nanny insisted I "prove" DEBKA was reliable before he or she would permit it. This attitude, as well as the chicken little approach towards military news stories is not producing ignorant terrorists. It is producing ignorant Freepers.

We have met the enemy and he is us.

It would suffice to say that the people at debka better start looking over thier shoulder and sleep with one eye open.Some one will get to them before long.As time goes by, and we get into the thick of things, we will start hearing more and more. Some of the things we hear might be better kept quiet.

Some Freepers' hostility towards DEBKA/GAMLA has nothing to do with the site's reliability.
