  I was slandering Mike not Mirembe.  It was Mike who without reference or 
evidence frothed malignantly against Blackwater and all Security agencies in 
Iraq.  And did not one of the first notes someone posted refer to an unnamed 
embassy state department representative saying that Blackwater behaved 
properly?  I looked through my notes for it but perhaps someone else posted it. 
 Subsequently the only spokesperson seemed to be Mirembe so if that early note 
(and if I remember it correctly) defended Blackwater then Mirembe "may" have 
been that person.  I know that in recent notes she is described as not 
commenting on this issue but someone, early on, did comment.

  I'm amazed that you can remember every note Mirembe posted.  I can't even 
remember every note I posted.

  And, sorry, but the predominant political position of those who post on 
politics -- here on Lit Ideas (and also on Theoria by the way) is Leftist.  
Thus, the "typical" Lit-idear is Leftist  -- that is, the typical one posting.  
 For all I know there could be 2000 conservatives who don't post . . . nahhhh.
