I've just come in on this thread, not having read the the prior posts.

I would like to thank you for posting.

The U.S. textbooks to Afghanistan is a not a surprise, still I was surprised!

I have only read the Emperor's Clothes link, & looked at the who are we page, I was very impressed with the heart & honesty of the founder & editor Jared Israel.

Thanks again.

[Edit:] I've read the entire thread now. Some informative posts, & a whole lot of back biting too.

Great links LordFu! :-)
