Suppose that there were two types of people in the media advocating withdrawal from Iraq:

(1) the liberal morons who are ignorant (they don't understand how important it is that we prevail, or how cheap it would be in blood and treasure), deceitful (they mischaracterize what's happening there to fool the public), unpatriotic (willing to sacrifice the interests of the country), and partisan (they just want to make Bush look bad); and

(2) another crowd who are well-informed about the Middle East and Iraq, who have come to the sincere conclusion that our continued presence there is making things worse, and that only by withdrawing will national reconciliation and an end to the insurgency be possible, who think this is in the best interests of the country, and who have said this even when they worry that it's not in the best of interests of their political party, be it Republican or Democrat.

If that were the case, how would you try to tell the different between the two groups?

Easy. (2) is a null set, in Spanky-land. Tautologies are fun!
