Ya that comment makes me feel like hes trying to tell us how to think. I dont like it. Q Is more than just the info he said. It's an active operation to take these people down. Yes, we are a huge part of it. But its military. He sounds like he is soft coring it. I dont like him.
Man, you really got to the core of it for me, props on finding the words to express what it is.
That ... that thing he does. That it seems like some of us pick up on AND CAN'T STAND.
What's really funny, at least for me personally, is that I really liked his recent piece that came out where he defended Durham. He made a lot of good points and accurately (I think) made a compelling and plausible argument as to exactly WHY Durham didn't do what we expected (wanted) from him: tribunals, Horowitz, so much still under seal, likely still ongoing.
Damnit! Why can't he be so reasonable in EVERY article!
I think I figured it out now. Cates is a talented researcher and reporter, his writing that has focus seems to be excellent and credulous.
but please, please, don't ask for his guesses about ANYTHING. This is not a guy who can formulate OPINIONS of his own that can even pretend to be rational. He can't see even a couple moves out onto the chess board.
Thanks for your comment though, it's an expression of exactly how I feel about Cates too.
