I would have thought that if you were looking to see wether an analyst has The Right Stuff then you would ask this:
"Has his work been accurate?"
and not this:
"Has his work toed the Party Line?"

Because I would have thought that "being a heretic" is nowhere near as important as "being correct".

Yet I look at this article, and it seems that the only criticism levelled at Freeman is:
He`s a heretic! Burn him! Burn him!

Because nowhere in this article does anyone say:
His work always turns out to be wrong.

Oh well, he`s anti-Israel, and so he has to go.

Not that there is an Israeli lobby in Washington, of course.......
