Entry: The Scapegoating of Churchill? Link: http://www.takimag.com/sniperstower/article/the_scapegoating_of_churchill#27929 Post contents: Rick Johnson is sadly wrong in claiming that Churchill was "at least complicit" in the torpedoing of RMS Lusitania in WWI. A remarkably nasty journalist named Colin Simpson put out a work of treacherous pseudohistory titled "The Lusitania" in 1972, and his calculated Big Lie has resonated ever since. An excellent riposte was published not long after, "The Lusitania Disaster" by Bailey and Ryan, which demolishes Simpson's pack of lies and distortions. If one believes that Churchill set up the Lucy, then one believes that FDR set up the Pacific Fleet, and that the WTC Towers were designed to look spectacular when they were destroyed by deliberate US Government action. Finding Churchill all too human and fallible is very reasonable and fair. But please let's save the muck-flinging to those who aren't capable of doing better. Sent at: 2009 01 09
