Blatantly Biased

Jane Skinner interviewed John Loftus today ...
At 11:12 am EDT Skinner interviewed John Loftus, whom she introduced as a former DoJ prosecutor -- which is true, but which doesn't acknowledge that " 'Inside Scoop with John Loftus' is a feature of Fox Network News television every Sunday at 11:20 AM" as per his own website, http://www.john-loftus.com/default.asp. The same website also has the following info:

He is also co-author, with Mark Aarons, of "Secret War Against the Jews" (St Martin's Press, 1994) & "Unholy Trinity: The Vatican, The Nazis, and Soviet Intelligence" (St Martin's Press, 1992) & by himself of "The Belarus Secret" (Alfred A Knopf, 1982).
Anyhow, Loftus claims that Israeli intelligence "knew" back in the 1980s that Iran was funding terrorism. He elaborated on this extensively, stating that in the 80s Iran ran a school for hijackers near Mashad; that Iran provided "palatial homes" for some of them; that the Khobar Towers bombing was funded by Iran & Hizbollah & Saudi Arabia found this out but covered it up; that the government of Iran has "sanctioned, funded, supported & armed" terrorists since the 80s; & that all of this proves that Iran funded Al Qaeda's 9/11 "operation".
When Skinner pointed out that the CIA says there is no credible evidence of any of this, Loftus smirked & said the CIA "should listen to Israeli intelligence". Skinner ultimately asked Loftus "What should we do about this?", & Loftus proceeded to announce that the US will be imposing a naval blockade on Iran some time this fall, & that Iran's economy & government will then collapse within 3 weeks. Skinner allowed this astonishing assertion to stand unquestioned & unexplored.
[Comment: maybe Loftus has a slightly biased point of view?]
