Well, I won't go as far as to say the word "courage." The word courage
nowadays is a very loose word that is thrown around, unless of course
the owners/author of the site face retribution for what they
printed....which I doubt seeing how it was about the U.S.

Wish they'd do two things, though: 1) put their best material in
audio form and start an Internet radio network with licensable
hourly newscasts to compete with the "Western" corporate media
(which could also be put on shortwave); and 2) stop running the
sensationalistic/sexy stuff with which they salt their site in an
apparent effort to increase ratings and revenue -- it hurts the
credibility of the serious pieces.


I will agree with #2.....too me at least it made the site seem a
little less credible, though the article was spot on.
