"For
certain people, after fifty, litigation takes the place of sex."

Gore Vidal George W. Bush "has sought a lawyer to represent him in the criminal probe into who was responsible for a leak that was seen as retaliation against a critic of the Iraq war, the White House said on Wednesday." Judith
Miller connection From Uggabugga, this graphic (click on it to enlarge it) charts The New York Times' place in the Bush-Cheney-Rove-Rumsfeld-Chalabi misinformation machine.
Scott
Ritter cuts to the quick: The NY Times reported lies as facts From Democracy Now interview with former intelligence officer and U.N. weapons inspector, Scott Ritter: "[Judith Miller] was trying to prove her point that there were weapons of mass destruction. I would set her straight on the mobile biological labs and other points that she was raising. Nothing I said would appear in the paper. [She] has an agenda. It's not one centered on the truth. It's centered on promoting Judy Miller and her biases. Unfortunately for her and The New York Times and the American people, truth has caught up." The

Star Tribune: How Iraq war has strengthened Al-Qaida From the editorial: The war in Iraq is a distraction, a very dangerous distraction, from the legitimate war on terror. As a result of the occupation of Iraq, the United States is demonstrably less safe from the threat posed by terrorism. As Bush's latest critic, Gen.

It came to light only after Village Voice reporter Rick Perlstein received "details" about it from "a confidential memo signed by Presbyterian minister Robert G. Upton." All

YORK (Reuters) - Institutional failures
at The New York Times led to it being used in a 'cunning campaign'
by those who wanted the world to believe Iraq had weapons of mass
destruction, the paper's ombudsman said on Sunday. Ex-football
pro wasted by friendly fire; gov't/military deceptions continue U.S.
Cpl. Patrick Tillman, a ex-pro-football player who became a darling
of the media and politicians after he was KIA in Afghanistan, was
accidentally slain
by his fellow U.S. soldiers, the military has determined.
Supposedly, it took an investigation to determine this. I'm sure
soldiers on the scene knew the truth of that fateful night; despite
the well-documented reality of the "fog
of war," soldiers often have 6th-sense-like
observations in combat. Tom
DeLay's got to go Tom DeLay is a criminal stain on the republic's government. His immorality renders him unfit to serve as a public offical of any kind. If the Texans of his district have any gumption at all, he will be driven out of office. |
