Reply #54: The editorial decision to run with her, pg1, is just as suspect [View All]

But she was, to my opinion, the #1 cheerleader for Chalabi.

Through Miller 'the paper of record' (and supposedly the liberal opposition paper, which is, of course, a crock) conferred legitimacy on the entire WMD's in Iraq case for war. Her articles were brandished, literally, by the admin and congress in going to war.

In war, she apparently got to command actual troops seeking out WMDs (and reported bogus confirming findings).

She's not your usual reporter shill, and NYT is not a light weight paper.

No, she's CIA or something similar. Has to be, must be. Her stories got published, page one, top of fold, at exactly the right time to deceive the public and congress into war. From a Bush admin. PR perspective, she couldn't have been used better.

Somehow there's more to the story, which is why I made the comment she might have somebody by the balls. Of course you are right that others at NYT are complicit, and the rest of the media sucks even harder. But this wasn't a mistake or accident, the NYT wasn't duped. This was a plan.

(I noticed recently that she co-authored a book with Laurie Mylroie. Have some fun with Google and that one, if you haven't already. Another cheerleader, although that one missed the class on subtlety.)
