Four Years Ago:13 Questions We Raised About Coming Iraq War

NEW YORK Four years ago this wek, E&P carried the following article by Ari Berman, then an intern here, following President Bush's final major press conference before he launched the invasion of Iraq.

Reporters, in the main, had directed softball or, at the least, less than combative questions at the president. We titled the story, "13 Questions We Wish They'd Asked." Here are some of them.

3. And now there are the new questions to ask the press:

Why were people against this war before it started deemed unworthy to be interviewed on tv?

Why were the people against the war deemed unpatriotic and ill-informed when in fact we had better information than the people in Congress?

5. And more: Why didn't you ask which Middle East specialists and scholars were consulted

before deciding to launch this fiasco? Why were all of the astounded voices silenced because you failed to do your journalistic duty? Why have you been nothing but cheerleaders for ChimpCo?
