This Just In: More on the CBS News Scandal _______________________________ LETTER TO THE LA TIMES January 15, 2005 latimes.com So CBS News has fired four employees following a "60 Minutes Wednesday" story about President Bush's military service that relied on allegedly forged documents. However, there has been no conclusive proof that they were forgeries. Yet no journalists have been held accountable and lost their jobs for failing to scrutinize the fraudulent case for the Iraq war. No journalists have lost their jobs for the fabricated Jessica Lynch story. Not one politician has lost his job for misrepresenting the truth regarding the Iraq war or the false claims that Saddam Hussein could deploy weapons of mass destruction. Anyone see any inconsistencies here? When will our mainstream media and politicians be held to account? Moira Govan Gloucester, Britain

Are you accusing Abbas of ordering the bombing? Fatah, which Abbas is the titular head of. Why should I doubt it, they claimed the credit! Abbas gets some benefit of the doubt for his intentions, but has also done absolutely nothing to curb the bombers. Shouldn't a little demonstration be in order, of more than nice words in English to the NY Times? When Arafat was alive, it was definitely Arafat who ordered the bombings. Did that show the right "will to move forward" that should have been rewarded?
