I would go further than Louis. I don't know all of these people but some of them are a lot closer to Ramsey Clark than they are to Paul Craig Roberts. Ann Wright also comes to mind, although she doesn't work with CNI. I also don't see it as a tactical difference. These people are very courageous, they should be praised in their own right whether or not they qualify as "leftists," a qualification that appears to serve no apparent purpose. - Amith On Fri, Jul 31, 2015 at 2:10 AM, Louis Proyect via Marxism < marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu> wrote: > ******************** POSTING RULES & NOTES ******************** > #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. > #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. > #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. > ***************************************************************** > > On 7/30/15 7:55 PM, Jeff via Marxism wrote: > >> I can't believe I'm reading this!
