Most Americans visiting Yahoo.com to check their e mail and read about the latest Britney Spears mindlessness would have seen the headline "Iran draws up plans to bomb Israel" and immediately had their brainwashed pre-conceptions re-affirmed.
In reality, if they had actually read the first paragraph of the article, which 99% probably didn't, it would become clear that the establishment war-whores are merely up to their usual tricks.

Many of the statements in this article clearly take Jimmy Walters completely out of context.
That said, Jimmy does say he has given up on his website.
I don't mean to be harsh, but I'm not sure he understands that truth is not a commodity which you can market or sell to people.
IMO it is good that he has given up "pushing" truth onto people.
Truth is a lot like swimming, sure you can force someone to swim by pushing them into a pool, but that will traumatize them and turn them off to swimming altogether. If you let the person swim themselves they can do it at their own pace and it will be something which is uniquely their own.
Truth is the same, you can push truth onto people and they may believe it, but it is not going to be their truth. It will not be something which seethes through their entire being, it will just be something they've acknowledged because they were forced to. Real freedom, liberation, and a life based in truth, cannot be pushed on people, people must choose it for themselves. - Chris
CAIRO, Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- An Islamic website will issue a new video message of al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden to mark the sixth anniversary of Sept. 11 attacks, U.S.-based SITE intelligence group said on Thursday.
SITE said on its website that it has learned that a new video message is forthcoming from the head of al-Qaida, Osama bin Laden, addressing the American people on the sixth anniversary of the attacks of September 11, 2001.
Almost half of the articles published by daily newspapers in the US contain one or more factual errors, and less than two per cent end up being corrected.
The findings are from a forthcoming research paper by Scott R Maier, an associate professor at the University of Oregon’s School of Journalism and Communication. The findings challenge how well journalism’s “corrections box” sets the record straight or serves as a safety valve for the venting of frustrati... (more)
