You are tyhe BEST thank you for what you do. I would like you to have Bill Moyers on your show. I think that you are far to pro corporation friendly,I guess that you need their financal support, but these guys, these corporate jerks are destroying our country. I wish that you had a litte more courage. I wish that you would stop defending warren buffet, michel bloomberg and all the corporate gangsters that your show defends. Why do you defend these billionare people that are destroying our country and ripping off America.
Scheur is not ideological but he has strong and controversial religious convictions. There is no question that his views about the Israel are a reflection of these convictions. For Scheuer and for Pres. Carter, another religious man, it always comes back to the Jews. It's always about them, always their fault. One can't argue with religion and they are entitled to their views. Nonetheless, Scheuer seems to be a patriot and, unlike Carter, he does not shrink from the stern measures that might be necessary to protect this country. ["Ed" posted a comment of which one of the few comprehensible parts is some absurd slander about genocide against the "Palestinians." The Israeli Arab population grows at a faster rate than that of Jewish Israelis and the former constitute an ever-increasing percentage of the Israeli population. Some genocide!\

"Anonymous" is the CIA's Chief of the Bin Ladin Unit. His real name is Michael Scheuer. He has written many articles for the JamesTown Foundation, AntiWar.com, and the Washington Times. His views aren't based on party loyalty. He has valid criticisms of both Democrat's and Republican's. And neither are his views based on ideology. He has valid criticisms of the ACLU as well as the Neo-Cons. Whether Ralph Nader was President, or George Bush...Scheuer would still be a true patriot. He would speack truth to power. And I am glad he was on Charlie Rose at least once.
