You gave an extremely narrow example. There are a multitude of resources on virtually any subject. Would I expect a textbook on African American history to cover Malcolm X with enough depth to be considered a definitive source? Of course no

Now, I'll admit that I personally don't know enough about Malcolm X to form an educated opinion of him, but you seem to be making the assertion that this biography is the only existing source of information on the man. That's

I think the difference might be that the guy on the submarine cares whether or not its cooked properly, because he's going to be eating it too. The Army uses contractors for the most part these days.

I'm asserting that the evidence exists and that I have seen it. Before I saw it, I never for an instant doubted that it was happening. To further clarify, because some others (not you) seem confused, just because terrorists are in fact

I was just asserting the fact that terrorists do take pictures of their targets quite frequently. I am just as opposed to profiling photographers as you are. After all, a terrorist taking a picture of a landmark is probably going to look ex

Hilary Clinton only cares about two things, power and control. I really doubt that she has anyone's interests in mind other than her own. I say this as a moderate conservative who would have voted for her husband to serve a 3rd term ag
