I won’t attempt to pile on the good work that has been done here and here in addressing those would wave a dismissive hand at the public release of captured media. I’ll merely point out to all the nay-sayers and unoriginal thinkers that there is nothing stopping you from forming your own Army and producing your own analysis. Contrary to popular belief the best way to refute the work of your opposites is to produce something at least as substantial as what is being arrayed against you; not shouting “nanny nanny boo boo . . .”. To put it more plainly: don’t bring a wet noodle to a gun fight.

I would delve into more “inside baseball” but there is a line I am unwilling to cross. Suffice it to say that it is a safe bet that anonymous probably doesn’t work for living (post a comment if you need me to explain the euphemism).
