@jacklgoldsmith At time of 9/11, Peter Bergen one of most knowledgable Americans on AQ, bc he met w/OBL, securely. Should we arrest him?
@pwnallthethings Likewise, are CIA's claims about CIVCAS in drone strikes true or propaganda? NOW we know propaganda but... @jacklgoldsmith

@emptywheel@jacklgoldsmith sure. In both cases healthy skepticism needed. Skepticism for USG but not for anon guy from AQAP is bizarre tho. -
@pwnallthethings Who's saying readers shouldn't be skeptical? They should! Either way you're trusting same journo, editor.@jacklgoldsmith

@emptywheel@pwnallthethings Fallacy 2 say that to cut through US propaganda NYT has no choice but to publish views (propaganda?) of enemy. -
@jacklgoldsmith Look, USG has made egregious errors over last 13 years abt who we're fighting. Unbelievable ones.@pwnallthethings -
@emptywheel@jacklgoldsmith can't they do some journalism and investigate instead of blindly trust/quoting anon sources (on both sides)?
