Not surprisingly, I disagree.


I think we said the same thing. I knew everything Hersh claimed already but I am glad that he his using his forum at the New Yorker to make it public. Much was made of Colin Powell's integrity and he needs to defend that integrity if he wants to maintain it.

It didn't get much press but Tony Blair put out a full explanation for the 'perjured student report' a few days after the story broke. All the people involved did open interviews on TV. Blair's people made a sloppy mistake, admitted the mistake and moved on. Turned out that the 'student' was an experienced postdoc with some valid information and interesting idea. The mistake was not giving him credit for his work.

I hope that Powell will do the same.

Paul

Given that there is growing evidence..

Other than Hersh, to what do you refer?

Given that there is growing evidence the Bush administration stretched, at best, the evidence to justify this invasion, this is another nail and one that's a bit larger than some of the others.


This list of unfounded and unproved allegations has no legs John, in spite of your hopes. Let's move on. :>)
