WSJ "OpinionJournal" re-writing history

[Grins]

Do not eat or drink anything while reading this one. I'm screaming at the computer screen this AM.

Today, the Wall St. Journal's “OpinionJournal” is out defending one of its own – Robert Novak, and the issue is his outing of Valerie Plame. I’ll bet none of you know that “…Mr. Novak's column was mostly ignored until months after it had run,…”

Months??? More like hours.

The Journal is very selective ("Cherry-picking?) with the facts it knows.

“At issue is his July 14 column explaining why the Bush Administration would entrust an investigation into the alleged Iraqi attempt to buy uranium yellowcake from Niger to Joe Wilson--a high-ranking National Security Council member from the Clinton years.”

Got it? It was “alleged”, although not by the White House. And if it was, well….after all he was Clinton’s guy. Can’t let that one slip by.

OpinionJournal does a re-write of history and fails to mention that Novak has subjected his protected sources to government retribution, and that he enabled those sources to commit the crime. It’s kinda like buying beer for teenagers.

OpinionJournal also fails to mention that Mr. Novak had no trouble in the past of revealing lawbreakers names. To “…to be honest to (his) readers…” he revealed his FBI source three years ago – Robert Hanssen!

Scroll to the bottom and send in your response on the editorial’s partisan and unethical journalism.
