Sean Faircloth:
Attack of the Theocrats!
Lots of softballs in that interview. It was also quite bizzare
About the Mossad for example. I don't believe Mossad assassinations are any more religiously motivated than CIA Assassinations or any other kind of government assassinations. Intelligence organizations the world over kill people for their governments, and not for God specifically. Plus I would be very surprised if Israeli Mossad agents tended to be very religious. Intelligence agencies tend to attract people that are... well... intelligent, and therefore more likely to be more secular then their societies' average.
This is bull. The interviewer was just trying to be clever and talk about current events. He did the same when mentioning the "religiosity" of Australian politicians, without making the distinction between a religious politician and one that leads with his/her religion (A distinction that Richard Dawkins did make).
