Subject: Why Europe lacks credibility within the U.S.

Fly the flag over something as semi-questionable as Camp Delta (Which replaced Camp X-Ray) and people will find fault.

That is the problem, part of the reason people in the United States tend not to listen to European criticism. The European press expended a whole lot of energy and vitriol for what, by your admission, is something that is only "semi-questionable". Combined with the anti-American sentiment that came out during the Salt Lake City Games, the moaning and wailing over our most recent Presidential election (which, for some reason, led to a lot of calls in Europe for the U.S. to change to a parliamentary style democracy, surprise, surprise), and just seeing that anti-American bigotry finds itself in major newspapers without any sort of denunciation, except from American pundits. It's the whole "boy who cried wolf" thing. With so much of the criticism being nonsense or worse, when you actually do call us on something that deserves criticism, our natural response is to dismiss it as more B.S. and just not listen.
