“Traditionally, intelligence is the foundation for policymaking. In this case, unfortunately, the Bush administration had devised the policy of intervention in Iraq and looked for intelligence that fit that policy,” said Haghayeghi."
Oh, Really?
And the point of putting this stupid statement in this article that directly refutes it, is what...?
You both were right to bring up those quotes from the article, the writer seems to be shooting himself in the foot, trying to give two sides or what I suppose he thinks "balance" to his reporting. These statements have nothing to do with the "lead" of the article and the report's findings. Thought KY3 News was an Network affilliate, but looked at their website and they say they are independent,
("KYTV is owned by Schurz Communications, Inc., South Bend, IN. The Schurz Communications family of broadcast and print operations includes four television stations, two radio stations, two cable television stations, 10 newspapers, two shopper papers and one commercial printing business. Each business is operated as a separate entity and has an independent management team.") so no reason there that the reporter take the article towards Bush and the Iraq War.
Thanks for your replies.
