Props to the boys at the Toledo Blade.

This is the paper that did the four day series on the "Tiger Brigade" discussing the attrocities commited by same and the coverup after the investigation. They were awarded a Pulitzer Prize for their work.

Here's a shocker for you. The coverup happened while Rumsfeld was the Chief of Staff for Ford (?) and Cheney was SecDef I think. Was listening to NPR and driving 70 MPH on the way home from work.

1. Other way around....

Cheney was Ford's chief of staff, Rumsfeld was Ford's Sec. of Defense.

Next time someone tells you what a grand ol' guy Ford was as president, remember who he hired to help him.

Cheers.

2. Eep! I had a feeling I got it wrong somehow.

I blame it on 70 MPH.

3. I heard that too on the drive home...

and I'm tickled that the Toledo paper won but...

Ok, no one from Toledo take this the wrong way. All I can remember thinking was that it's a sad state of affairs when the Pulitzer for investigative reporting went to a series on atrocities that happened decades ago when there are atrocities and stories worthy of investigative reporting happening RIGHT NOW. I worry that it is a commentary on the lack of serious investigative reporting nowadays.
