You know? You really are a whacko. 

By telling the truth I am giving a government, that I have been
denouncing as an evil thing for more then 10 years, moral sup****t?
That is the most ridicules thing I have ever heard. 

And relating things that I have seen with my own eyes is not valid
unless I list name, rank and serial number? When public news sources
attribute news to "Our Staff", "Our re****ters", etc. You really are
pitiful.

For example, todays's issue of the Bangkok Post headline article
titled "Charter judges to rule on ASC's fate" is attributed to "Post
Re****ters". The sub-head, titled "Burma to allow Thai medical team",
is not attributed at all.

Shall I call the sub-editor of the Post and tell him that Jim Walsh up
there in Taiwan says that his news is no good because he didn't list
the re****ter by name and identity card number? Or tell him he is
giving moral sup****t to the Junta because he printed the truth? Old
Jim said so!

Or maybe you'd like to admonish him yourself. Letters to the Editor
can be addressed to postbag@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 I'm sure that he will be
thrilled to hear from such a erudite chap as yourself.
