ANDREW SULLIVAN EXPOSING THE BBC: The Kurdish leader got it exactly right:{New York Times Article} The liveliest moments of the news conference occurred when some council members disputed questions from the news media. The Kurdish leader Jalal Talabani criticized a BBC correspondent for suggesting that the interim government would have limited powers and therefore little legitimacy among the Iraqis. "The Council has a lot of authority, appointing ministers, diplomats, budgets, security," Mr. Talabani said. He then accused the BBC of having been biased toward Mr. Hussein's government during the war.And they still are pining for a Saddamite revival. I don't think it's because they actually consciously support a man who tortured and killed hundreds of thousands of people. I think it's because their hatred of the West trumps their disdain for tyranny. And that's been the story of the far left in the West for a century now. andrewsullivan.com
