Prof. Goose,

I'm sorry, but Ruppert is a nut.  You discredit this wonderful blog by dragging his paranoid, conspiratorial jibberish over here.  Any interesting points he might contribute are more than overshadowed by the stain he leaves behind by association.  (Bush and Cheney behind 9/11?  Sorry folks, they have pills for people that are that checked out from reality.)  

Here is an interesting article on Ruppert from that Vast Right Wing Conspiracy publication The Nation that nails him pretty well:

JLA, I agree that it's a bit loony...but he does make a couple of good points in between the conspiracy theories.  That's why I put up the bug huge disclaimer in the lead-in.  I didn't say I subscribed to it.  Plus, about ten people sent me an email to post the piece...although they too had all caveated themselves in those emails...so, take it for what it is.
