re: #112 Hecuba’s daughter

For a long time I believed Scott Ritter was a good guy because he objected to our policy in Iraq and challenged the prevailing notion that Hussein had WMD. But it certainly appears my admiration for his vocal displeasure with our policies was misplaced. His personal life is clearly appalling — and the fact that he supported Bernie in 2016 and now supports Tulsi suggests that his political viewpoints are equally appalling

I did much the same thing with Glenn Greenwald, because I first became aware of him in the W Bush years. Any opposition to W Bush was most welcome, but since then Greenwald has been a total asshole. Therefore Greenwald always was an asshole, and had asshole reasons of his own for opposing W Bush.

The enemy of my enemy is just that. No more and no less, and certainly not a friend.
