You're welcome. Having said that, I also believe that Jim's contributions far and away surpass any position that he has taken that disproportionately relies upon passion for impact. If he has erred, he is not the first among us to do so on the side of passion.
Greg,
I remain deeply troubled, and even conflicted, by Jim's abandonments of reason and hard-earned deep political lessons in favor of -- what? -- ludicrous-on-their-face offerings.
The most painful instance is Jim's naive acceptance of Hunt's blatant, final excretion of disinformation.
Something's wrong here. Terribly wrong. The brilliant, courageous, invaluable warrior for JFK truth and justice who I knew Jim Fetzer to be has been replaced with a thin-skinned naif who, as the 50th anniversary approaches with its anticipated sophisticated attacks on our positions and its heightened public awareness of our highest profile spokespersons, stands to do serious, lasting damage to our shared causes.
Unwittingly or not.
The innocent explanation for Jim's metamorphosis leaves me stricken with sadness. The alternative explanation leaves me with boiling blood in my veins.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
