...Eugene. However, don't be fooled by it. The red flag went up for me by the time I got to the 5th word. FYI, gadfly = "an intentionally annoying person, who stimulates or provokes others, esp by persistently irritating criticism." My eyes traveled up to the author's name, "Paul Harris, New York." Ah...The reporter is in New York, no doubt somewhere near or on Wall Street. Thus the animosity towards Michael Moore. Michael seems intentionally annoying to the Wall Streeter because he speaks truth to power. If Michael went along to get along, this article might have less of an attitude.

If you want to know a little more on the subject of the NDAA, go check out http://www.DemocracyNow.org Search around and you will find quite a bit on Chris Hedges and Daniel Ellsberg, et.al. who speak about their case against the USG for the lanquage in the NDAA. (Ellsberg was on there yesterday speaking about it.) They (Ellsbberg & Hedges, et.al.) won their first case and were elated, even though they knew that the Administration would appeal it. The appeal is what happened yesterday, and again they are in a waiting period for the judge's ruling. Also, you will find tons of info about John Brennan, POs pick for CIA Chief.
