such a group took out an ad, etc.
I'm saying be skeptical about this until you know more about those who
signed the ad. They may well be a shill for someone.
I saw some of the names. My question again is what are they doing now.
Are they truly independent or is there a thread in what they do or
who's supporting them.

Michael, you don't have to be anti-Israel to recognize that Bush and his
minions are failing horribly and the war in Iraq is a total mess. These
people aren't shills for the Arabs, they are members of the military and
diplomatic corps who are deeply concerned about the future of this country
if Bush stays in office. As we all should.
