Oaxaca, Mexico, Sunday 21 August 2011
      Dear Larry Romsted <[log in to unmask]>, Michael
Balter's "position", of course, is what The New York Times tells him
it "should be". Lefty, schmefty. In reality, a walking dead intellect.
That doesn't bother me, but that he is a dedicated liar whenever he
thinks it serves his purpose, and that his bullshit is welcomed by the
list moderator -- that is troublesome. I know that Michael Goldhaber's
tired of my saying again that Balter lied about me, and in his role as
"moderator" he defended Balter.

      "My own position, of course, is that we should support the
rebels despite their shortcomings and despite the fact that NATO is
supporting them" --Michael Balter
