Bad news about Iraq is not hard to come by in current media coverage. Terrorist attacks on Iraqi citizens and U.S.troops are recorded day by day. Mistreatment of Iraqi prisoners by Iraqi security forces leaps to the headlines. Calls for Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's resignation are gathering steam among Democrats on Capitol Hill, with Congress set to debate the issue next week.
When it comes to any good news out of Iraq, the liberal media are negligent or simply silent. And if there is new information corroborating the reasons the United States went to war against Saddam Hussein in the first place, it is of no consequence to the media, which long ago decided that Saddam's weapons of mass destruction programs were a figment of President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair's fevered imaginations. And of course, in their view, there's no shred of evidence linking Saddam Hussein to al Qaeda. All of which will surely go down in journalistic annals of disgrace.
Fortunately, much like that of the Nazis, Saddam's regime was one of recordkeepers. Piles and piles of its intelligence documents have been captured by U.S. forces, but have until recently been classified in bulk. Two million documents were released in February by the U.S. government, and of them, only some 5 percent , or 100,000, have been translated.

Thanks. At least some large papers are slowly bring out the deal. Like I have all along. This is going to take a long time. The L/MSM will fight it to the hilt. If people started to re-evaluate why this POTUS took such drastic steps knowing full well it could cost him and his administration dearly, then the Kerry's and Hildabeast would be in a real bind. Don't expect the L/MSM in paper/internet/TV form to yield an inche unless they have no alteratives.
There are so many ways the media exposed themselves.
It is a bigger enemy since it prevents us from unifying and destroying those attempting to destroy us. Without its assistance to the Terrorists they could be easily dispatched.
Can you imagine an America as unified as it was in WWII? What force could stand up to that?
Thanks for the ping!
Excellent. Thanks for the PING!
"I've yet to read anything or see anything aired about these documents on any of the Big Media outlets."
An excellent reason to stop reading and watching them. Seriously, I think on principle we should be boycotting the major news outlets. I can't recall a shabbier performance by the news media in my life.
