I don't draw conclusions selectively.
Read what I say. I also quoted Peters when I didn't know any better. When 
enough others point out to you that to do so is not reasonable the mature 
position to take is to ask yourself why. Ask who is quoting her? An entire 
treatise was written by Finklestein exposing her. Read it and if you still 
think she is worth quoting, go ahead and do it, but it is like Colin 
Powell claiming there are WMD in Iraq. 

(It also speaks to your own credibility)
