I could not find any reference to this at the NYT website. If anyone finds a link other than Newsmax, please ping me.

I have lib aquaintances I want to forward the article to and they won't read Newsmax stuff.

Still won't stop the libs from charging that the purpose of the war was to stuff the pockets of Cheney's buddies, or for a similar corrupt purpose. Truth does not matter to them.

"no evidence of profiteering"

NY Times equivalent of "no evidence of wife-beating". Same result -- leaves a negative image in the mind of the reader.

[CedarDave]

Would like to know what page it was on it the print edition -- not above the fold, that's for sure.

[RAY]

Mainstream corrections for such news will be nil.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I would too. Page 38, perhaps ?

[MEG33]

Quick! I need smelling salts!

[mware]

Here is the link I have. You have to go to the print only. It was found in business section.

NPR this morning was wringing their hands and lamenting the bickering among the dwarves. Dean blamed the mad cow problem on Bush, naturally, and said he'd protect the public and the farmer if elected. On a sad note, Dean's flip flops were coming home to roost( Kerry, et. al. were taking turns nailing him). Worse, the wicked Republicans were taking notes and would recycle all the nasty details if Dean became the dem's candidate, which was looking more and more likely. Dean, so they said, profited from Gore's anointing by picking up 28 congressional endorsements over the past weekend. New Hampshire's primary was a hot topic, and from somewhere, maybe NPR's office?, they'd dug up a poll which showed good news! Bush is vulnerable for on a whole host of issues(which they didn't detail for some reason)! Yes, folks, although 48% of those polled said they'd vote for Bush were the election held today, but 48% said they wouldn't. This is so bogus, I can't believe they had the gall to broadcast it. On the other hand, as it's NPR, it's predictable.

[Phsstpok]

The DNC must be having fits today.

When the NYT's can't find anything wrong they might as well hang it up.

Why? The accusations were top of the news for a week. This won't make any of the national news broadcast's which is where most people get their "reality" from. Ask Al Franken or Howie Dean about Halliburton and they'll repeat this lie and not be challenged about it.

Churchill said "A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."

Maybe they're warming up to supporting the WOT. The only way they can win back the votes they need is to co opt the issue to their liking. Since Bush has moved center, they have no winning points to speak of.

The Dems are losing health care, equality of minorities and women, CFR, immigration policy, the economy, education, etc. The Repubs have been looking real good to the swing voters these days--and they afford protection from insane terrorists, too.

[Dec31,1999]

Dean blamed the mad cow problem on Bush, naturally, and said he'd protect the public and the farmer if elected.

It's important that MCD not become an important focus here. Dean is grasping at straws here.

A lot can happen between now and November. If prions are in fact a danger to humans, and our food supply is contaminated, the President and the Republican Congress must take responsible action to protect us now through intensive testing and quarantine and other measures.

Or at least give a heavy dose of lip service. If not, in the Dems' eyes, Bush will be kowtowing to "Big Beef".

[Free ThinkerNY]

Dean is suffering from Mad Cow disease. He got it from Hillary.

[gatorbait]

Yeah, okay, but..but..BUSH LIED!"

The truth doesn't matter to Democrats. They are a broken record

Sort of like the anti-Bushes from allegedly the right...

[mombonn]

LOL!

The real headline should be:

NY Times: No Evidence of Halliburton Profiteering (ack, spit, #*@*#%(%~!)

[nopardons]

We all know that the N.Y. Slimes is VERY biased. We all knows that the Dems are too. Both lie first and don't ever look back. What is galling, is that far too many supposed Conservatives, are even MORE guilty of this garbage.

[gatorbait]

That's okay for them though;they have principles.

[nopardons]

No, what they have , can't rationally be called " principles " at all.

[rdb3]

That's okay for them though;they have principles.

They sure do. Principles ooze out of their ears, I tell ya.
