Much of the work from the sources I've mentioned comes from there, with properly referenced direct quotes. However, I lack the time to copy them all out for you so I'd recommend reading it.
Finally! an actual resource.

I was beginning to wonder why you were so hesitant to produce your source documents. Now I know. I would have been hesitant to admit that I made a statement like the original post based on a popular piece of quasi history too.

Not to worry though, theres still plenty to talk about. I may not agree with with the authors interpetations of all his source materiel, but he is a good researcher, his sources are verifiable and he references and quotes as appropiate.

For those following along or just arriving, This is a link to a google search for reviews on this book. You can pick and choose your own reviewing publication. If I suggest one I will be accused of either Liberalism or Conservatism in the choosing.

The Imperial Cruise by James Bradley

And the Authors Bio...
James Bradely @ Wikipedia

I would reccomend reading it too, his last work (Flags of our Fathers) was quite good.

So lets begin.....

Please indicate which leader you are referring too. The first leader Andrés Bonifacio, a warehouseman and clerk from Manila, or Emilio Aguinaldo, mayor of Cavite El Viejo who took over later after Bonifacios execution by the Spanish for treason? Also if you would kindly check your "source" was the leader you refer too above a Democrat as you stated or was he actually an Oligarchist?

The distinction makes a big difference in understanding the tactics used by both the revolutionaries and the U.S. in the conflict.
