Reply #133: What an idiotic non-analysis.... [View All]

[BlooInBloo]

It's presumed false because the administration said it. Duh.

The way you even phrased it was genius "But when we hear of a terrorist plot to harm us" - how smashingly genius of you to leave out the key part: FROM WHOM DO WE HEAR THIS?

Presumptions can be overridden - by details that cohere well together and aren't contradicted by others, whose testimony we hold credible (there can be other ways - that's just one common way).

NOBODY doubts that there are terrorists plotting out there to harm us - the idea that there is such doubt is an idiotic strawman that not a single person I'm aware of believes. But it's quite a different thing to believe what the administration says. History teaches us that such belief - without scads of corroborating, coherent, and non-contradictory evidence - is likely to lead to ruin.

There's absolutely NO inconsistency in that. Only in your convenient strawman.
