I wouldn't even believe the date stamp on Breitbart without checking my own computer first.
Apparently the late Andrew Breitbart was Jewish and saw Rush Limbaugh as his inspiration (would you admit to that?). So it's entirely possible that Breitbart is funded by pro-Israel lobby groups. As an Irish Catholic who lived through the Northern Ireland troubles, I'm of the impression that governments are very pragmatic about terrorism i.e. they do not care what they actually do, just as long as they give them what they want. The British government and Murdoch press went to great pains to tell us what a truly evil organisation the IRA is but when it came to allegations that the INLA (Loyalists) were collaborating with the RUC and British Army, they were rather more coy.
