In case you're wondering who this Manuel Castells guy is, here's his resume which he himself posted on the Web. He seems to be some sort of respectable authority in the field of sociology. But if he's this dumb, ignorant, and bigoted about international affairs, what must his sociological works be like? Based on our upcoming series of Castells' analysis of the war in Iraq, I'd say his use of sources is faulty and incomplete, his logic is childish, his prejudices are blatant, and his level of credulity is high.
