everyone's getting tired of hearing me say this, but i guess i am going to keep saying it anyway. what in the world is the washpost op-ed page doing giving space to donald rumsfeld and ibrahim al-jafari ? is it that these people have no other outlet for "their" "views"? is it that we haven't heard all these cliches and useless mumbo-jumbo a million times? is it that we don't have the time to interview these people? is it that we admire the prose style of their staff? it's useless; it's redundant; it's not even actually writing at all, much less a variety of opinion journalism. they are not stating their own views. they are not writing their own prose. all you're doing is reproducing us government press releases. stop acting like idiots and toadies to power, you fuckheads.
