This is actually a repost from wsws.org:

  http://wsws.org/articles/2007/jun2007/iraq-j13.shtml

And we have agreed in the past that posts from this site
promotoing their party should be hidden but we have also
agreed in the past not to hide ones like this -- posts
like this are clearly not corporate reposts.

If you want I could spend some time digging through this
list archive and writing a wiki page on wsws.org...

I have unhidden it.

I agree, again there has been lengthy discussion about
Nimmo on this list and again I guess we need a wiki page
to document this...

I have unhidden it.
