No, I just think they don't bother to check out these guys or their stories much if at all when they're saying things they want to hear. Take Jesse MacBeth for example. Until military groups exposed him as a fake the anti-war movement was quite eager to use him in order to drag our militarys reputation through the mud.

You'll forgive me if I have a difficult time automatically believing that this latest crop is telling the truth.

You might be right. George H. W. Bush sure liked using "Nurse Nayirah" in 1990 to help sell Gulf War I. There is a history of both sides (both American sides that is) using propaganda "interviews".

A healthy suspicion is always good.
