“Planning for Bin Ladin Attacks Continues, Despite Delays” (July 2)

So, basically you are saying that ThinkProgress made up the existence of Philip Shenon's book and the Time magazine article they cite?
Fascinating.

John Steward and Steven Colbert are both hillarious. Those who can't take it: "If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen!" nobody is forcing you to watch them.
