1. He is a gun-jumper, isn't he?
He did the same damn thing with the aluminum tubes as proof positive of WMD. Headline: "Found 'em".

2. Gee, how odd for Sludge to get a story wrong
He's usually right on the money. Like that "Kerry's Mistress" thing.

4. He jumps the gun in hopes of being right
so that he "scoops" everybody else on those odd times when he is right.

9. isn't world tribune unreliable?
My understanding is that its not a real paper, just a website run by a Moonie Times editor. And that its wrong as often as it is right (if not more often).
