1. Isn't he a New York reporter/author working for a British paper?

2. OOPS forgot the

:sarcasm: :hi:

[hlthe2b]

5. Palst is American, working for the BBC

Because, as he will tell you, he could not find work doing the kind of investigative reporting he wishes to do for MSM in the US. As a result, the Brits know so much more about what is going on here that nearly ANY American.

Let me take this opportunity to mention this GREAT AMERICAN journalist

[JitterbugPerfume]

9. they just ain't been paying attention

:wtf:

[seemslikeadream]

10. or conveniently ignoring him

:wtf: no kidding :hi:

[LeftCoast]

11. He's a hack

13. He has not told the whole story, just his role in it.

Caging was just one aspect of the effort to rig 2004. Palast is looking into the 2008 glass ball instead of prosecuting 2004 fully. And, he is selling his book, of course.

[LeftCoast]

16. He's claimed to have evidence for several years now

It's time for him to put up or shut up. But, if you choose to believe him simply because he tells you things you want to hear, that's your business.

:shrug:

[seemslikeadream]

17. RFK JR believes him n/t

[LeftCoast]

19. So?

See my reply below.

[seemslikeadream]

21. and see mine

26. Evidence for what? He may not have shown every shred of evidence but he's shown plenty.

If I'm not mistaken it was his disks of the ex-felons used in FL to purge the voting rolls of Dems before the 2000 election that were used by the NAACP in their suit against Katherine Harris, Clayton Roberts, et al. that resulted in an agreement on the part of the state of FL to agree not to do it again (which the conveniently ignored of course the next election cycle, or tried to). If the case had proceeded, I think his "evidence" would have been pretty useful to the NAACP.

In many cases, his "evidence" isn't the whole nine yards but it's enough to indicate where the truth lies. I think the emails he claims to have regarding the USA scandal are almost certainly only a scant few of the million or so that were withheld, but what he has are probably quite suggestive.

Palast isn't superman, but he's certainly one of the best, maybe the very best, of the investigative journalists around right now.

14. TELL THAT TO RFK JR

If he's good enough for him Palast is good enough for me

18. I prefer to do my own thinking

RFK Jr is a great guy, but I think he's totally wrong about Palast.

[seemslikeadream]

20. Let's see now - your opinion - RFK Jr 's opinion NO BRAINER n/t

[L. Coyote]

25. Hacks sell books. Armed Madhuse would be a good #1 NY Times .....

gotta say that much.

[Gregorian]

27. Interesting. I appreciate your posting of that diary.

I have been spewing my love of Palast all over the place. And I think rightly so. But that diary gives me some healthy skepticism I otherwise didn't have.
