I was thinking the same thing. I did a little poking around and read that Israel provides substantial public funds for elections. Maybe they limit spending as well. What a concept.
Mark Koroi: Some have pointed out that Sodastream employs many Palestinian Arab factory workers, providing them with a substantial wage. . .
Yes Mark, and some have pointed out that American slaves enjoyed a better and more secure life than did their poor but free contemporaries in the North and Europe.
Thanks for being there for us over the years and working so hard to develop a truly essential news source! I look forward to all the changes, and, as always, I wish you great success.
I don't think anyone in the thread has claimed expertise on conducting night raids by special forces or expertise on much else except reading comprehension. Much of the concern expressed has to do with the fact that Panetta and others declared the raid a kill mission. That's as clear as it gets. I sincerely do not understand why Juan thinks he knows better.
I also do not know, and neither does our favorite professor, that bin Laden reached for a weapon. Who says? Is there any documentation except for the statements of the SEALs involved?
I'm usually one of the groupies who, when Juan makes an unequivocal statement, gets in the car and drives to the bank to deposit it. In this case however, I'm puzzled not just by some of his conjectures, but the fact that he presents them as "facts," that supposedly disprove "myths," and truly most of what we've heard so far qualifies as neither.
I reserve a special dislike for those who characterize others who question the official story, which incidentally changes every day, as defending OBL. Nobody gives a crap for bin Laden personally, I'm certain. Some folks, myself included, would simply like the US to live up to calling itself a nation of laws and an example to the rest of the world, and with leaders who don't reserve the right to order extrajudicial killings and then determine after the fact what is and isn't the truth and what the people can and cannot see or know about the act.
Mark Koroi, Thanks for all of the info!

I just donated. Thanks for everything you've done to keep us informed. Best of luck going forward.
