WASHINGTON (CNN) --A Vanity Fair article "misrepresents" statements made by Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz about U.S. justification for the invasion of Iraq, Pentagon officials said.

The quotes in the article were shortened and thus out of context, one said.

Thanks for the PING(s). They make it easier to keep up with this. I'd never be able to catch all these stories on my own, and I'd hate to miss any of it.

And when someone uses Blair's lies in yet another paper, would that be Blair-garism?

Here's the link to the actual Tannenhaus interview, in case you want to add it to the other links you are posting. Wolfowitz's words are clearly being spun and distorted by Vanity Fair.

Okay, yours tops Grim's! Blairgarism needs to be a FReeper household word.

Anyone in the media who misquotes or uses unidentified sources to slam the Republicans, conservatives, GW and his administration is fair game for whatever comes their way.

It is time to expose these lying left wing lunatics when they do things like this.

Thanks again for your hard work in finding these articles and pinging us!

You deserve the "Truth in Journalism!" award.

It is with great pleasure that I award the Benedict Arnett Award to Sam Tanenhaus for his misquote that served as the quicksand basis for his hit article!
