Re: . . . or just ask the the U.S. government
Okay, so your counter to the results of this study are:
1) Take an article from Islam Online - a clearly anti occupation and anti Bush website
2) Quote a guy who didnt like his job and quit
3) Take issue with Powerline for not quoting the method (not their job since they didnt do the study)
Wow. That is as about a weak an attack as one can mount. Nowhere do you directly attack the veracity of the study.
Lets say that the editor was correct and lets pretend that Islamonline isnt biased. All the editor really said is that the U.S. was heavy handed in its management. I didnt see him say anything about the U.S. making up facts. So even if we were to believe the editor we still have no reason to doubt the study.
It is quite possible that the study was flawed. However, you make zero case for that position.
