Harvard to remove official seal from anti-AIPAC 'working paper'

[#10 Jersey]

...The study's many critics claim that its academic quality is poor, and that it is essentially a political polemic rather than genuine academic research. Well-known researchers such as Marvin Kalb, also of Harvard's Kennedy School, said this week that the study fails to meet minimal academic standards.

Can we now put this garbage study to bed now?

This proves the authors right. Anything and everything in America is subject to critique - the President, the armed forces, Congress, lesbians, public schools, drugs, religious figures, sports personalities...

but not Israel.

Removing the seal does NOT mean that Harvard debunked the article.

They said the study was flawed and not up to even a minimum of standards. What didn't you understand about that?

"According to one such academic, who asked to remain anonymous, "the study obviously contains many correct facts, but their presentation is skewed and the conclusions [the authors] derive from them are unfit for publication. For instance, it completely ignores the enormous influence of the Arab oil lobby on American policy, and presents a one-sided and utterly politically biased picture of the world."

Other academics - some of them not known as fans of AIPAC - also cited many professional flaws in the study, such as omitting relevant facts, relying on unofficial sources (including Haaretz), and leaping to conclusions that are not necessarily supported by the facts. "

Oh, of course, and the Israelis and their apologists are utter politically UNbiased and never one-sided when they make their case. :rolleyes:

If these academics/critics are so confident of their critiques of this study, they might be better off with a point-by-point refutation or a study of their own.

If the author of the article came out and said he was drunk/high and made a mistake, you would still try to convince us that "someone" made him say that and nothing is different. Why do you bother us with this crap?

I would give up some power, but darn, it's all so attractive, especially the banks, post office and of course both Democratic and Republican parties.
