"Gandhi" says:

By the way, here's another strange thing about the Fadhil brothers's site, and warblogs in general. I got those quotes above from the Roundup of the SoA tour at Kesher Talk - "the Jewish weblog". The site has links to 16 Jewish Publications, 5 Jewish Charities and 32 other Jewish Links. Now why is such a site promoting Iraq The Model?

You tell me.

Kesher Talk is hosted on the Web site of Howard Fienberg, a former (ahem!) "journalist" whose work includes "Global Warming Didn't Do It: The real threats against public health", "Nuclear, Free!", "Battling conspiracy theories, Internet innuendo is tough" and "Students Do Support War on Terror". If that doesn't sound like a resume from a man ready to tow the Bush propaganda line I don't know what does!

Feinberg spent 5 years working with the NGO "Statistical Assessment Service", presumably learning how to manipulate statistics to prove ideological theories. In January 2003 he became the new Legislative Assistant for Rep. Christopher Cox (R-CA) handling "energy, science, and the environment, among other issues". Obviously he is well qualified for the job!

And so it goes, on and on and on... A sparkling golden money trail of lies, links and propaganda! That's the magic of Bush's America!

Arthur responds to "Gandhi" here, and I left him a comment:

FYI, Howard Fienberg has not run Kesher Talk since sometime in 2003. Howard and I have never met, but I used to send him URLs to use on the blog. Because he took a new job where he couldn't blog, he turned it over to me. It is still hosted at his site. So your attempts to make him seem sinister are beside the point, and typical of the insinuations in this post.

Many Jewish blogs, as well as other blogs, have followed the Iraq War and the reconstruction with interest. I assume you singled out KT because I took it upon myself to track their tour and link to everyone who wrote about them, which probably meant that KT showed up frequently in google searches for ITM. I did this for the same reason most bloggers write about and link to things: because it interested me. Of course you have to make this into something sinister, because to conspiracy-mongers like yourself, Jews are behind everything. Well, I would love for Jews to take the credit for making Iraq a thriving wealthy democracy, but in fact many people from many backgrounds are making it possible, especially the brave Iraqis.

People all over the world are acting in non-violent ways to make their countries decent places to live. Ukraine, Iraq, Lebanon, Egypt, Khazakstan . . . They are defying tyrants and terrorists by assembling in huge numbers, singing, waving flags, voting, making speeches. In fact, they are using the tactics of your namesake Ghandi.

But you do not honor your namesake by sneering at them and elevating the violent terrorists who are trying to derail their efforts. You're pathetic.

UPDATE: "Gandhi" responds. Go visit him. The incoherent dork needs the traffic.
