Actually, Iwas responding, just in a fairly opaque sort of way.

I was saying that I find the metaphorical idea of fighting fire with fire stupid. In this case, speciffically I find fighting Propoganda with propoganda stupid. I think the best weapon for fighting propoganda is a combo platter of transperency and trying really hard not to do the things the other sides propaganda says you do, like torture, kidnapping, disobeying your own laws, destroying entire neigborhoods to get a handfull of insurgents or make headlines and lying about your 'news artcles' coming out of the Lincoln group.

I think fighting fire with fire is stupid as hell unless you have way, way, way, way more fire than the other side. Even then, it's not a great strategy. It's like cavemen hitting each other in the face with clubs, or duffus skinheads trading punches.
