  • First we get Mr. Cockburn pretending he is George Bush on global warning and now we get him warning us that the US government used Zyklon B... eighty years ago. And why is Zyklon B even worth mentioning? Because the Nazis used it!!! But I have even bigger news for Mr. Cockburn: The US government used bullets during World War II, bullets that were almost identical to the ones used by the Nazis to kill innocent Jews before they used Zyklon B!!! If further proof than that is required to prove how horrible the US government is, then I don't know what that proof might be.

    So tell the truth... what have you done with Alexander Cockburn and who is this fraud you have replaced him with?
