Suprise, Taranto shares our perceptions:

Misrepresenting Kissinger
"Leading Republicans . . . have begun to break ranks with President Bush over his administration's high-profile planning for war with Iraq," the New York Times' Todd Purdum and Patrick Tyler report. "These senior Republicans include former Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger and Brent Scowcroft, the first President Bush's national security adviser."

Scowcroft has indeed done so, in a Wall Street Journal article yesterday. But if you read on in the Times account, you'll find that Purdum and Tyler are not telling the truth about Kissinger, whom they quote as saying only that good planning for Iraq's postwar reconstruction is crucial--an assertion with which no reasonable person disagrees.
