Monday, October 13, 2003 Hooray for Tony Snow: On Fox News Sunday, Sen. Jay Rockefeller attacked President Bush for alleging that there was an imminent threat to the United States from Iraq.

If this threat is permitted to fully and suddenly emerge, all actions, all words, and all recriminations would come...

The elite media continues to insist that Iraq had no weapons of mass destruction when the U.S. attacked in March, citing the scant evidence of any actual weapons finds by U.S. arms inspector David Kay.

That's right - lost in the debate over why U.S. weapons inspectors have yet to uncover the Iraqi version of...

By the time the Kay Report was made public, the NY Times felt the lie well-positioned enough to incorporate it into their opening front-page salvo against the evidence Kay presented: “Analysis: preliminary report delivered...
