C'mon, now. If you abhor SDI and its offspring, just come out and say so. I can respect that, especially with sound reasoning and honest factual interpretation, even if we come to different conclusions. But siding unquestionably with the Pentagon? That's not the real you, and it's not honest. You ought not trade your journalistic or intellectual integrity for a cheap debating point. It ultimately undermines your credibility. Worse than that, it's the very kind of thing that causes so much mistrust and rancor in the ongoing debate between liberal-ish and conservative-ish Americans.

I assume you care about this kind of thing. That is, unless this “independent media” project you're part of is really meant to be nothing of the kind.
