Truth prostituted for a Ph.D

[alkmyst]

First Nafeez Ahmed attempts to portray the events of 9/11 as LIHOP, now his latest contribution attempts to present the mythical Al Qaeda as having thousands of supporters amongst the British Muslim community!

If this leap of faith isn't enough, he then prostitutes the basic tenets of empirical research by suggesting that despite the lack of evidence supporting the official version of what supposedly occurred on 7/7, "... on balance, ... they probably did it."

Nafeez Ahmed's latest work of intellectual dishonesty is yet another demonstration of the fact that nobody is ever awarded a Ph.D by disagreeing with the establishment.

Nafeez is apparently as much of an adhrent to the basic principles of scientific investigation as Tony Blair is to transparency in Government.

Maybe once Nafeez is actually awarded his Ph.D, he might demonstrate a greater degree of intellectual honesty. In reality, as he is likely to pursue a career in academia and continue to remain reliant on State funding for his livlihood, this is an unlikely prospect.

Nafeez's prolific analyses of international affairs are about as meaningful as trying to portray Ariel Sharon as a misunderstood philanthropist.

Meanwhile, Nafeez & Milan Rai are two authors whose books reside on my 'Shelf of Shame'.

Well said alkmyst.

This notion that "blowback" is responsible is just another version of limited hang out.
