And what's happened to Bogdanos' credibility?

I don't think there's much dispute about this as a standard MO for such people.

Further, quoting the Italian Ministry of Culture in a comparison of archaeological artifacts with drugs as the primary funding sources of terrorism in Afghanistan and Iraq is pitiful. Are you really getting that desperate? Next, you'll be quoting Matthew Bogdanos or Donny George, neither of which have much credibility left since the truth about the Baghdad Museum is now known.<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />WayneWayne G.
