[Peace-discuss] WaPo: Liberals, Dems, Women Abandon Afghan War

[Brussel Morton K.]

Yes, The Progressive is a prominent and valuable progressive magazine.

Its dispute with Finkelstein was indeed despicable, as outlined below,  
but I think that by now, five years on, it is largely water over the  
dam, and can be justly put aside, if not forgotten, in view of its  
current positions on U.S. wars, imperialism, Israel-Palestine, civil  
rights, etc.. Estabrook evidently has not been reading that revue.  
People like Howard Zinn, Naomi Klein and many others still consider  
and support it as a bastions of progressive thought, and I am fairly  
sure they are not ignorant of the dispute with Finkelstein.  I would  
guess that Chomsky does too.

Why Estabrook reveals his animus now is disturbing, but not surprising.
