Re: Offsite links (none / 0)

Is that supposed to be an intelligent response ?

Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner - that I moved to Nice.

ah, the ad hominem attacks commence!

yes, how do I know this woman exists and that the NYT is telling the truth about what she said?

they've lied before and are not above inventing comments from people to support their stories, à la Tom Friedman.

you dismissed my source, and I have a very valid argument to dismiss yours.

Couldn't you do some elementary checking for yourself - try using Google (if that's not too "white man" for you):

The NYT is at least not stupid enough to just invent Egyptians and comments by them which could be revealed as inventions.

I didn't just dismiss your source, I showed where he had got things wrong - stupid of him since it's easy to check what the NYT did actually say.

Re: Offsite links (none / 0)

I think ONE of their reporters was stupid enough to do this, and so was fired. The fact remains that you could have checked one of the named bloggers and had you done so you'd see she exists.
