 ::::That made me laugh! Truth is an interesting thing - and as Colbert pointed out, it isn't what you want it to be. Just because you don't want people to read a balanced view of your country doesn't mean that they won't go elsewhere to find out. And its a pity really. If both sides were presented fairly here, then you could fairly address those opposing view points. If this particular 'field manual' is bogus, don't you think its better to mention it and provide evidence of its forgery, rather than sweep it under the carpet? If readers don't find out about it here, they will go elsewhere, where there may not be an opposing view presented. The fact that you and others spend your day deleting these inconvenient view points makes people imagine there is a conspiracy of some sort, where in fact there is merely systemic bias and fanatical nationalism.  ::::I have a very favourable opinion of Americans. But having contact with you, Mongo and others, has tested that. I have to keep reminding myself that you are not representative. Good luck to you.
