Not using an alias, like some cowardly cur
Mr. Cullen I think we have addressed the anonymity issue sufficiently. You should now take it up with TwoBlock, NotGuilty1. Sergeant1107, Poly-ana and the rest. I think you are trying to bait me. With a little more practice you may become a black belt and eventually a master.
You need to stop and consider who you are backing here.
When I asked him "Have you ever participated in a conversations or correspondance in Arabic, Farsi, Persian, or any of the other languages natively spoken by Al Qaeda , the Taliban, or Islamist insurgents in Iraq or Afganistan in which you describe or explain the countermeasures described in your book? "; he could have said simply
"NO", but instead tries to tap dance around the question with responses like "none of your business" I respect privacy" and then he plays the race card.
With this type of direct question, I think it is fair to conclude that
any response but
"NO" is actually a
"YES". If he has in fact had these conversations he was either delivering information he believed to be accurate in languages natively spoken by Al Qaeda , the Taliban, or Islamist insurgents in Iraq or Afganistan or he was deliberately delivering mis-information at the behest of the U.S. Government or some other intelligence agency. Since we already know that based on Dr. Maschke's own statement, our government has determined that Dr. Maschke is not ever going to be placed on their list of people who get to decide what information should be translated and released to the enemies of our country then I think the former is more likely than the latter.
Mr. Cullen, what about you? Can
you answer a direct question with either a
yes or
no?
Have you ever knowingly provided information to a foreign national that you believed could be used at any level to damage the objectives of The U.S. Military or intelligence services?
I just can't hardly wait to see if are actually going to answer or put on your tap shoes and start dancing.
