If he was truly concerned that Salam might be hiding behind a false veil of secrecy, he could certainly have done a better job of couching his speculation in terms that made it clear that it was just that - wild guesswork. Instead, he started with a wild hypothesis and wrote it up as fact. Even were any of it true (and at this point it's one person's word against another's, though I believe Salam), the lack of respect Warren showed for even the <i>possibility</i> that he was wrong was surprising. 10285@blogcritics.org Sat, 31 May 2003 14:32:09 EDT
