Hi Paul,
I think we could do with changing the useful fools category. Idrees has a category on journalists. Maybe you could agree between you what to call this?

about useful fools
Folks like Walid Shoebat are NOT journalists... they are oddballs that are used for propaganda purposes, i.e., people who ostensibly are with the "enemy", but then turn around and provide stinging propaganda-ladden criticism of the same. Journalist would sound like a representation of someone trying to separate propaganda from a useful story-info. This is certainly not the role of Shoebat et al. Maybe Useful Stooges?? Useful Stool Pigeons??
