A Plaintive Question
Colin Whitworth asks:
Q: Why was the Iraqi WMD informant called "Curveball"?Posted at April 7, 2005 11:11 AM | TrackBack
A: Because "Screwball" was taken.
As a college student, one is often required to write research papers. Most profesors require that these papers have more than one sorce. If a student did not have enough sources for this paper, the least that would happen to this student is that their paper would be dropped a grade.
I am not quite sure, but I think going to war is a little bit larger of an impact than writing a research paper. Shouldn't there be some sort of requirement where there needs to be more than one source of information before deciding what to do? You know, other than from a guy named "Curveball?"

Liberal claptrap!
Sounds like a job for David Horowitz.
