Beyohd a reasonable doubt?


The intelligence assessment sent to Congress by President Obama supports the president's request that Congress authorize military action against Syria. The assessment consists of a series of assertions about evidence available without any display of that evidence. The materials are "classified," according to the document. That means we won't see the evidence. It also means that Congress can't investigate or debate the quality and reliability of the evidence in public since that would reveal classified information.

RT is now an "unreliable source" in LBN.

Nothing more need be said. "Get back to us all"? Who is us? The minority who supports another Mid East military adventure?
