<<<Good article on journalism's coverage of pre-war politics and Iraq. Good ol' Judith Miller and the Times. Why was everyone so "unanimous" about Saddam having WMDs prior to the war? Because anyone who disagreed was just not listened to.>>> It is certainly a pleasure to hear the Press admit to having failed to check out their stories and thus contributing to the misunderstanding. It is true they had a problem , and the best outside (or inside) information they had was the UN Inpectors reports. There was proof that he continued to pursue WMD's, as even David Kay stated, and only a fool would conclude that he had changed his evil ways and was therefore no longer a risk. As far as the Press being inclined to support the Administration, I never got that impression at any time, beginning with the chad counting in Florida, and continuing until this day -the inadequate troops at the beginning of the conflict, the bogging down after only 2 weeks of conflict- questioning the legal status of the War and the treatment of prisoners. Does this sound like a Press being bought off ? Sig@freeifyouaskme.com
