<b>You did indicate that only two possibilities existed and that one was wrong and one right.</b>
Oh please, that sort of pedantic behavior might work in Tilted Philosophy, but this is a Politics thread. Of course there are shades of grey to every news story and to every "possibility". I could also post on every Politics thread that the argument the person is making doesn't matter because we could all just be brains in a vat hooked up to a computer.
But, I don't think that would be a pleasant discussion for anyone on this board.
So, you think the guy was a terrorist wanna-be. Many press stories have played him out as a international arms dealer. There is a disconnect between your opinion and the opinion of many of the press stories. How did you decide to adopt the "arms dealing wanna be" position?
And, do you think this line of questioning about the nature of Truth is a useful discussion to launch in every single Politics thread?
