1.It becomes obvious that you are unable to read, Jeffrey. I have not
defended Johnson. I haven't even said that you are wrong in your verdict, I
have only questioned it.

2. Why would it be another case if I were paying for Counterpunch? Even if I
read only from your website occasionally I'm still a reader.

3. If you're worried about the freeloading tell Doug Millison to stop
posting your articles.

4. I have just read two articles by Alex:
http://www.counterpunch.org/cockburn0805.html
http://www.counterpunch.org/cockburn0802.html

no objections.

Otto
