Woodward and Bernstein would get censored these days.
But we should all work to give investigative journalists courage to stand up. Greg Palast broke the story of the Florida voter roll scubs (the real method Jeb used to give GW Florida) and the mainstream media wouldn't even print it, despite all the proof he had.

Scott,

Re: Watergate's Woodward and Bernstein --

These two couldn't happen in today's Washington Post. It is part of the corporate fascist system. Greg Palast describes the situation very well. Did you know that Bernstein worked for a defense intelligence agency before his fame at the Washington Post? Makes you wonder who wanted to get rid of Nixon.....

Stock: <<<<Woodward and Bernstein should be doing some new Washington Post investigative journalism -- somebody has to get to the bottom of IraqGATE. I noticed on C-Span earlier today that in Britain they are ALREADY holding serious hearings...The Foreign Affairs Committee was asking tough questions (and NOT doing it in secret).>>>

start with another review of the reason we had UNSCOM there, then ask former Admin why they too felt compelled to bomb Iraq, then ask the Iraquis who were persecuted before Gulf War.
