Christopher, what insight do you have that Vertigo was having a go at Americans? Why, for instance, did you not ask him to refrain from posting anti-power-elite vitriol?

Hmm. It would seem to me that some would consider even the rather bland term "alleged" as biased. Maybe a 'less biased way' to put these might be:
- President Bush, true patriot and a national
treasure.
- The CIA, according to nutcase conspiracy theorists,
sold some contraband in Guatemala to help fund special covert operations against the communist threat.
See, now isnt that so much better?
