Jones didn't site them as evidence, he said they were interesting. As far as I know, "interesting" is in the eye of the beholder, and does not make any meta-physical claim to the quality of interest. Jones didn't ask us to "believe" anything in that post, he simply offered them as potentially interesting reading.
That apart from the fact that this entire thread appeals not to objective news reports (and since when did CNN start being hyped as the paradigm of objectivity?) but rather to arguments of value. Jones' argument has, from the beginning, been an appeal to a certain concept of ethics, and as should be readily apparent, an "objective" news source like AP would have nothing to add to the question. Since when does a conversation revolving around which is worse, adultery or drunk driving, or Bushs or Kennedys, or chocolate or vanilla need to appeal to objectivity? Your answer would depend on your individual tastes and values, no more no less. Which is not to devalue it! I have found a lot of these posts, from all sides, "interesting".
so much for not flaming. LOL. My welcome to you, Crescendo, was sincere. Just don't expect to post anything more controversial than "roses are flowers" and not be challenged on it from some direction. There are a lot of very "interesting" people and opinions here, and I am but one more animal in the zoo.
