Ack.
Before I go.
If CATO is still here, an answer to a question from another evening, and I appreciate the question rather than an accusation that I must mean THIS or THAT when I didn’t.

The wikileaks video - whose “side” would I put those people on?

In my comment that you were referring to, I said (paraphrasing here) that I don’t particularly like dishonest “news” packaged and presented as truth by either side. I used “side” because I was speaking generally, that term is commonly used, and it came to my mind as I was writing.

You asked which “side” I thought the wikileaks people were on.

They seem like an unclassifiable mixed bag of unpleasantness.

A better phrase would have been, I don’t like dishonest news packaged and presented as truth no matter who does it.

I think I’ve been very consistent with that.

That is all.

In what way was the Wikileaks revelation dishonest?

Certainly not in the way O’Keefe’s pimp tapes were. Wikileaks provided the entire unedited tapes for viewing.
