About the author:
Cliff Schecter is the President of Libertas, LLC, a progressive public relations firm, the author of the 2008 bestseller The Real McCain, and a regular contributor to The Huffington Post.
It looks like the writer is just a progressive writer who's work might be picked up by various publications - not a staff writer for Al Jazeera. I expect this article could be found elsewhere.
right...I figured that out.
so we have a progressive writer who strikes a chord with our enemies at AL Jazeera. and why would we want to have anything to do with either of these defilers of America
