My favorite "historians" are Michael Moore and Al Gore!
But Oliver Stone does state facts that can easily be checked
You agree with this Texas Tea?My favorite "historians" are Michael Moore and Al Gore!
I.ave just read Oliver Stone and Peter Kuznick book , The untold history of the United States"My main source for views about American History is older histories like "the American Nation by 'John A Garraty and Robert A Mc Caughley. This is an older history. I have also done case studies on various aspects of American History. Now that The Pentagon Papers have been released and new biographies of American Presidents have been released we have more information
Stone like all historians has a bias but he does quote other poits of view, In History you must look at all sides of a question.
Dogtower. Thanlks for telling me something about Peter Kuznick. I had never heard of him. Is he left wing or as unreliable as Conservatives paints Stone.I know you realize Mr Stone is a movie director. While it is not unusual for these guys to do a bit of research for films about period matters. (Scorsese with NYC and the underworld, Cameron with the Titanic, Speilberg with Schindler and Lincoln etc etc.) But there is a reason that associate professor of history at American University Peter Kuznick is co-author on this tome. Oliver has no credibility on his own as ma historian.

There were also two bombing test drives prior to the marathon.
Boston Marathon Bombing: Just a hunch.
According to Media reports here, Twiter even name the wrong people has the Boston Bombers. The problem with Twitter is to sort out the rubbish from reality. I am sure the Bombers gave warnings on Twitter but so thousands of others who did nothing. Knowing that some nut claims to be targeting the Boston Marathon is not new. I am sure there were always nuters saying this before every bgf event.
Police and fire investigators are trying to determine who has been setting off a series of homemade explosives near Route 53 in recent weeks.
Blanchard declined to describe the devices recovered March 12, saying he did not want others to try to reproduce them. He said they appeared to have been powerful enough to cause serious damage, particularly if they were discovered by an unsuspecting person.
“If you were in close proximity to it when it went off, it could kill you,” he said.
