12. A reason to "listen carefully" is not a reason to be gullible

For example, she was charged with acting as an unregistered foreign agent attempting to influence government action, which seemed to me to have been around a lot longer the Patriot Act, so I looked up her indictment: She was charged under Title 18, Section 951 of the US Code, which is not the Patriot Act. Claiming that it was the unpopular Patriot Act seems to be a deliberate attempt to gain undeserved sympathy for her claimed injustice.

She wasn't brought to trial because court-appointed psychiatrists found that she had a "long delusional history." The judge basically ruled that she lacked any credibility, which meant that it wouldn't have been possible for her to influence anyone as a foreign agent. And this, by the way, was all well before she started telling stories about the Israelis shooting a video of the first plane hit, which is what she claims Bush saw before going into that Florida classroom.
