149. Thank you for clearing that up.
I see. Semite refers to Arabs, Jews and others, while the term anti-semite is limited to and reserved only for jews. Honestly I was not aware of this distinction, that the term Anti-semite refered to only one group of semitic peoples as it does seem to. Thank you for clearing that up.
Although still, wouldn't anti-jewish be a better and more accurate term? And, I must admit, it seems ironic that a "jew hater" from the 1800's is defining the language today's jews use, particullary a term that itself is now used as an epitapth of derision.

But back on topic, I understand your viewpoint, if not agree with it. For my part I am still waiting for an American or other naval person to tell me if such a mistake is likily.

As for the NSA recordings, If this were a cover-up, wouldn't you expect the government to produce evidence to suport the cover-up story? Much like our government's evidence of WMD in Iraq.
