Still Negligent on Wilson
Can't remember where I noticed the complaint about coverage of the Joe Wilson report, so not sure who to credit, but I notice the omission of relevant info in the N&O today so will extend the complaint here.
The article today says of Wilson's trip: After traveling to Africa in 2002 to look into claims that Iraq had sought to acquire material there for its nuclear weapons program, Joseph Wilson wrote in an op-ed article in The New York Times on July 6, 2003 that the White House had "twisted" the intelligence ...
Well, a factual and complete statement, if you did not have a lefty bias like the N&O, would be: After traveling to Africa and confirming that Iraq had sought to acquire material there for its nuclear weapons program, Joseph Wilson wrote....
You could add the relevant details that the final reports of the Senate Intelligence Committee and Butler commission comfirmed that Wilson's report from Africa and his statements later did not correspond (or, you could call him the liar he is), but to ignore the facts is a shameful display of journalistic ethics.
