[WS:] What do others think about it? To me, it looks so frigging
lame that I find it hard to believe that anyone with a half a brain in the US government would fabricate such crap. No wonder that the BBC put
quotation marks around the phrase admits guilt. But then, one never knows. The arrogance cum stupidity is abound in the US ruling elite.

The NYT ran a box listing all the “attacks” he claimed credit for.
The list was so long, I wondered if the Times ran it to discredit the
story. But maybe that was just wishful thinking.
