THE TIMES EDITORIAL BOARD WILL NOT GIVE UP By Cori Dauber Here's 9/11 Commission Chair Thomas Kean during the press conference for the release of the commission'a final report today: There is "no question in our minds that there was a relationship between Iraq and al Queda." Here's the New York Times lead editorial this morning: The president's re-election team will try to counter these charges, just as it attacked the panel earlier for refuting Mr. Bush's claims of an alliance between Iraq and Al Qaeda (My emph.) Yes, yes, it's true, the President in one (1, singular) speech used the word alliance. But it's also true that the administration never attacked the commission on this issue. The administration attacked the press (and specifically the New York Times) for being inaccurate in its representations of what the commission had said about the issue, and I would think the Times should be able to understand that distinction, wouldn't you?
