5. What a shit rag the Washington Post is.

snip
The Washington Post carried at least 140 front-page stories in that same period making the administration�s case for attack. In the six months leading to the invasion the Post would �editorialize in favor of the war at least 27 times.�

and

The program closes on a sad note, with Moyers pointing out that �so many of the advocates and apologists for the war are still flourishing in the media.� He then runs a pre-war clip of President Bush declaring, �We cannot wait for the final proof: the smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.� Then he explains: �The man who came up with it was Michael Gerson, President Bush�s top speechwriter.

�He has left the White House and has been hired by the Washington Post as a columnist.�

8. Sounds like the antidote to the POS that Richard Pearle put out on PBS

this week, trying to justify the Iraq "War".
