I get the feeling that I'm surrounded by a lot of people who pretend they know what's going on, and minimize and trivialize others who disagree with their conclusions.

I have been around here since 2001 and I don't think I have ever seen such a concerted and rapid effort to tear down a source. Legitimate or not he has certainly gotten a reaction from the skunk he poked.
Me, I am not surprised by the revelation and I will withhold judgement until more info comes out or the story goes down the rabbit hole.

As well as some wannabees and never-wases.

Whether the actives are on the clock is a good question..... and of legitimate interest to everyone.

I've noticed this in earlier threads about related topics... esp. Manning, who drives them so nuts that they blow their cover.

Some seem to have hooked up w. DU very recently and a few even on the same date.

And I figured all this out w/o data mining, verizon logs, FISC courts ( or wuteverthefuck it is), warrantless wiretaps, etc,etc,etc.
