The Declarer (Floyd McWilliams' Blog)

Thursday, May 15, 2003


Jesse Walker hit and ran an attack on some bloggers' doubts as to the veracity of Salam Pax (everyone's favorite Baghdad blogger):


They offer a number of reasons for this thesis, but their case boils down to this: Salam Pax's posts do not reflect our worldview. To reassess our worldview would be a terrible hardship. Therefore, his posts are lies.


Mr. Walker was too clever for his own good. It took only 69 minutes for someone to respond with the obvious reply:


I don't have a dog in the Salam Pax fight, but Jesse, you have seriously, and I'd guess deliberately, misrepresented the couple of artices I'VE read.

Why?

I can only guess, but presumably because THEY don't match YOUR worldview.
