Fair...It's great that you ran the whole thing.<br /><br />Fair use doesn't preclude this - it just tries to protect the author's right to get fair credit for the work, and not have it used for the profit of others.<br /><br />I use whole essays all the time if I think they are important enough to be promulgated for the better education of the public, and will not be with just a link after a small part is quoted. What's important is the credit and the link.<br /><br />My thinking (which comes from lots of feedback from my readers) is that many would be interested in the essay, but wouldn't click on the link without knowing how much information is there.<br /><br />I also wanted to thank you for making this argument anew. I was teaching at a small university at the time of 9/11 and became immediately controversial when I drew upon my reading and degrees in Political Science and International Studies to draw out all the negatives that would be forthcoming from the planned attacks on Afghanistan (and later Iraq) as a response to a terror tactic. (Later I changed my mind as to whose terror tactic but at that time I was only arguing that it was the wrong response and was actually a great opportunity to address what should have been viewed as "blowback.")<br /><br />You can guess the history of the rest of my tenure there.Cirzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07070125217972397204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-62928501653686646372015-11-17T20:26:33.052-08:002015-11-17T20:26:33.052-08:00Well, you are right, Joseph.

The real point of my post was to demonstrate that the claim that no one knew what the invasion of Iraq was going to lead to is a part of the great Bush lie.Green Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13477132834757467690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1903235483068862940.post-18658107104364111072015-11-17T02:08:13.310-08:002015-11-17T02:08:13.310-08:00I read the entire article.
