And How exactly in this perfect world would our Members here find this thread.

I don't want it locked, I want it open for discussion, and additions by our members.

Feel free to start your own thread with the same links, and then request it be locked.

And it is not about being the focus of the blame game. It is about providing facts where we find them and letting our members know about those facts.

Sorry, but I disagree with your whole premise.

As for this:

You said:
" 2) Whatever facts we uncover through diligent searches we aren't going to change the attitudes and reporting styles of the MSM."

Tell that to CBS regarding the memo's..

Again, thanks for your diligent research and the information you provided. Reviewed in a mature light it can help mitigate missteps in future disaster responses.

As for the MSM, which I'm watching as I reply, the Rathergate affair simply earned a few employees early retirement but the style and intent hasn't changed one iota.

I just finished watching Scot Peley (sp?) manipulating the mayor of New Orleans to slam and bash the Bush administration. The bashing was a bit more subtle than the Rather style but the interview was still a heavily edited, partisan, political piece cloaked in the sorrow of a disaster utilizing an unsophisticated, local administrator/victim, without shame.

As to defending the Bush administration, I don't think they need the help. From my perspective President Bush is doing fine. He's delivering an honest message of help and hope and staying out of the blame game. The administration's detractors are well know political hacks who's tirades are being amplified by the MSM. Their bickering is being increasing recognized as political posturing by the electorate and their credibility is decreasing as emphasized by their decreasing viwership/subscriptions.

President Bush's popularity, which is surprisingly strong in view of his lame duck status under of a barrage of unprecedented, continuous, savage, political assassination attempts, is testament to his abilities to defend himself.
