1. More like "after making sure they wouldn't be Dan Rathered"

Make sure its safe to report this first. Wouldn't want to take a chance of swallowing one of Rove's forgeries.

Cowards.

2. I sent them the following reply:

Thanks for your recent attention to the elaborate twisting of the truth about the reasons for the war in Iraq. All of those who died for this pack of lies deserved nothing less than a full, unfettered examination of the truth. They died in the name of freedom, not to defend freedom fries!

3. I like the fact that they brought 9/11 into it this way.

The British documents confirm, as well, that "soon after 9/11 happened, the starting gun was fired for the invasion of Iraq," Dodge said.

"If 11 September had not happened, it is doubtful that the U.S. would now be considering military action against Iraq," Straw wrote. "In addition, there has been no credible evidence to link Iraq with OBL (Osama bin Laden) and al-Qaida."

Yes, indeed. Coincidence? You be the judge.

4. Kinda like the Moonies' UPI ? Follow the leader.

When you can't ignore the truth anymore and Operation Mockingbird allows it, you've just gotta come clean...with 'hey, maybe these liberal types ARE telling the truth'. Wow, the truth really DOES have a liberal bias afterall !

5. Let's thank them for their coverage now

We need all the honest reporting we can get to take back our country. I sure wish they had reported the facts for the past five years but we need them now as much as ever. So I'll write a thank you if they continue with decent reporting.
