Of course, you noticed the lengthy piece Bunch points to is an investigative piece by al Jazeera. Where real journalists are, apparently. And they quote all these scientists, from known institutions in Louisiana, all who are publishing their findings in respected scientific peer-reviewed journals. From our mainstream? .<crickets>

I consider that Al Jazeera’s not being an American news outlet does not impeach its reporting. Indeed, it may validate it.
And I know Will Bunch. I know him very very slightly, so slightly he probably doesn’t remember me, but I know him and I know the man who used to be his editor. Will does his homework.

I just remember with some sense of paradox how during the reign of GWB al Jazeera was always painted as the enemy with the US military occasionally expressing the wish to bomb it. It established its bonafides.
