posted by aminorex at 2005-08-31 19:22

aminorex: broad, rather than deep. but neither is the article comprehensive
aminorex: well, ok, i admit it's a mediocre article. but read it anyhow.
^matthew: Interestingly, the State Department's method for unearthing misinformation as presented here seems to boil down to guilt by association. "Did you hear that from people who might associate with commies? Probably wrong then."
