Did I mention that everybody is getting on the "Times" for this outrage? :>) Let's see how Okrent handles it.

Ah, so "everybody" is the National Review?! Pretty narrowly defined "everybody." Beach must be too warm these days.

Most pathetic of all in today's article is the Times's self-serving rationale for withholding critical information while it was accusing the president of misleading the country.

Maybe a Michael Moore of the right will do a film on the NYT....

>>>>>>>> The Times has been against the Iraq war from the start. Its relentless propaganda, in conjunction with its media allies, has taken a sizable toll. President Bush has taken a ratings hit, and a poll out this morning suggests that a slim majority of Americans now believes the war was a mistake. But that could turn around in a heartbeat. No one is more aware than the "newspaper of record" that if the American people become convinced Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden were in cahoots, the national perception of the necessity for this war will drastically change, and the president's reelection will be a virtual lock.

That's what this is about. And who knows what else the Times is not telling us?
