@emptywheel @PhilPerspective My claim is not that the government is right. It is simply that the Times should not uncritically accept...
@benjaminwittes This govt you speak of... that's the govt w/John Brennan, he of the "no civilian casualties" claim? @PhilPerspective

@benjaminwittes This is rational exercise. One side making OBVIOUS, HUGE lies. Other documenting their work. You want to split differencence -
@emptywheel It's not simply a rational exercise but an empirical question with an answer. The question is how knowable the right answer is. -
@benjaminwittes Sure. And you choose to split the difference between someone who HAS LIED abt this, and those who document their work. -
@emptywheel No, I do not believe Brennan's zero claim, but I also note that the other estimates involved a huge range. So I reserve judgment -
@benjaminwittes That range? That's what people engaged in credible exercise do. The "No CIVCAS" stuff? Should be granted NO credibility.
