The Washington Post is criticized for sloppy reporting and failure to offer an appropriate retraction. It is good that the net keeps them, or others, from getting away with this unscathed as in days past.

The problem with MSM is that the closer you look, the worse they look.

do their care?
The Post met their objective... the headline was printed, was in ciculation, and now the headline is being talked about more and more...

"We were almost all wrong [about Iraq]." and "WMD" are now associated and will be trumpted by the MSM.

The Washington Times, the source of this story, is not the net.

The summary said Saddam "wanted to end sanctions while preserving the capability to reconstitute his weapons of mass destruction when sanctions were lifted."

With the help of the vaunted UN (led by Kerry's new best friends--France and Germany), I might add.

Thanks for posting this story about the Old Media FRAUDcasters.

Their power is waning. We will defeat them.

Brit Hume mentioned this in the "Political Grapevine" section of  Special Report last night.
