    Thanks Athos, and I'm not sure where Vac got THAT wild conspiracy scheme from.

    I'm not sure where that conspiracy theory came from either. At any rate, it's not like the actual reality was not pretty bad on its own.

    Athos: Not looney at, nor is it a "theory": Obama, almost immediately upon taking office, trotted quickly off to the M.E. to present his pedigree IN PRIVATE (no journalist permitted) to the Saudi Royal Family.....all of buzz was about him placating Muslims and he was being pressured to do so....No, not a story, its part of BHO's legacy: He wanted to release the Blind Sheikh....you believe the internet, saw where you reference it a lot in your continual fights with jlisenbe, so why don't you look this one up! He thought a "pacifist" like Stevens wouldn't fight, BHO was wrong.

    V7 - Just because you see this nonsense on the internet, it doesn't mean the stuff is true. You are required to verify sources by checking other sources. Look for legitimate sites - major newspapers, TV News and Documentaries, main stream magazines and periodicals, and see if they are covering whatever theory you're promoting at the moment. If the issue is found only in extreme right-wing (or extreme left-wing, for that matter), it's probably bogus.

    Don't you think a story blaming Clinton for kidnapping Stevens so that a ransom could be arranged for the Blind Sheik who was a pal of Obama's is just a little, well, weird? A tipoff should have been that no one picked it up. If true, the media would have had a field day - especially the center-right crowd.
