Acctually, what happened, as I pointed out in my thread, was that other news organizations went to investigate this and found that the claims were totally baseless.
Why did those g asshole news organizations not investigate anything Bush said about Iraq? f**ck them all.
What can you do? The bottom line is that reporters are nothing but ordinary civilians with no real skills armed with printing presses and cameras. They have access to no more than we do, which is what our government feeds us. Even if they wanted to break out of the mold and try and get some non-government sources, they would be attacked as incredible and anti-American. Yet their current set-up is profitable enough.
In all fairness, they have something, contacts. Here they failed.
If the story
was accurate and did "harm America's interests," I would still say publish it. I'm faily certain that
any administration would feel that a story would "harm America's interest," but might actually harm their own agenda. Should we let
any administration dictate to us as to what is America's interest?
