interesting responses thank you. the thing about a MEDRS compliant source needed for a political decision is strange to me; heck we could use the NY Times (or frankfurt allgemeine as it were) for that! in light of your point 3 - that He is an outright bullshitter, i would prefer that we leave that source in the garbage and not use it in 2. but we need less bullshit not more. the idea about 3 is interesting. hm.
