Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

...a frying-pan-to-the-fire maneuver? From an impersonal, inefficient and bureaucratized social safety network to none at all—just throwing people to the wolves? Leave it to the "magic of the market"? I've got news for you: the government got involved in healthcare and social security because the magical market wasn't working. It wasn't some arbitrary ideological imperative, as you Paulistas seem to think—it was a response to hard, cold, oppressive reality. Anyway, using all this to impugn the moral issues of the Civil War is beneath contempt.
Look, wrap it up, or go get your own website. I am not going to keep approving these self-important screeds forever.

The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.
