If he ever was a paid informant I suspect evidence would have emerged by now - is there any evidence for that? Then he did much more practical work to stop the Iraq invasion WHEN IT MATTERED - the early noughties - than Julian Rand Paul Asshat. ( Who no-one heard of pre-2006 ) He did that by breaking into the Michael-Gordon-Judith-Miller NYT - the NYT of ' Aluminum Tubes " infamy.  WL was years late and dollars short for any effective antiwar action - then its mini-Fuhrer washed his hands entirely of pacifist activism in 2013.  Oh, and did I mention Julio worked for the Police in the 1990's? Its in his Wikipedia entry.  I mean if being a police employee is a dealbreaker for youse.
