Before the war, the only reporter worth a damn in America was Walter Pincus at the WaPo. Pincus is 70+ years old - so maybe he remembers what a journalist is supposed to do. Here is an article of his from '03 (that mentions the WHIG): washingtonpost.com Excerpt: "The escalation of nuclear rhetoric a year ago, including the introduction of the term "mushroom cloud" into the debate, coincided with the formation of a White House Iraq Group, or WHIG, a task force assigned to "educate the public" about the threat from Hussein, as a participant put it. Two senior policymakers, who supported the war, said in unauthorized interviews that the administration greatly overstated Iraq's near-term nuclear potential." Pincus had an article ready BEFORE THE INVASION that claimed the White House WMD claims were a fraud. The WaPo sat on the story and later apologized. Pincus is a JOURNALIST. Judy Miller is worthless trash.
