yea exactly, "former senior military officers" give me a freaking break. These are guys playing cya right now and the old grey lady is happy to help. God I hope old Kurt got the strait on the flop on this one. I want to see the 911 commission go down hard.
Senior Military Officers = Wes Clarke and who else?
Here's a related story concerning my favorite source of disinformation, the New York Times. Regarding the matter of Mohammed Atta meeting with an Iraqi agent in Prague, the Times did this: it printed a story, quoting an anonymous "Administration official", that Vaclev Havel, the President of the Czech Republic, had privately called the White House and informed the President that Czech intelligence had been wrong, and that the meeting had not taken place. Unfortunately for the Times, this call never happened. Unfortunately for the Times, Vaclev Havel sees their newspaper. Havel promptly issued an official statement, through his spokesman, that this phone call had never taken place, and that the Czech government stood behind its original report that Atta had met with an Iraqi agent in Prague. Oh, and the Times made use of this fictitious phone call in an editorial.
