I'd take the article with a grain of salt... Saddam's ex-generals would be trying to sell a story they think someone would want to buy... we were already snookered by "Curveball" and Chalabi.
If there were some independent collaborating sources, I'm sure that Fox News would want to get that out, even if the rest of MSM wouldn't.
Though finding the infamous WMDs would be big headlines...and the MSM are first and foremost big business.. they wouldn't want to be left out. I would take a wait and see attitude on this...
Sorry, but I couldn't disagree with you more. The MSM has taken sides in this, and their vested interest is to keep this quiet.
This would surely help Bush's poll numbers, and they've spent three years trying to bring them down...
There seems to be a debate in the Bush Administration to get all the Saddam tapes and documents out into the public domain so they can be expediently translated. The President wants the documents out in the open, but people at the State Department,, in particularly Negroponte (as reported by Fox), wants to go very slowly as not to embarrass our "allies", i.e. Russia, France, Germany....

And that's why they knowingly continue to alienate more than half their potential audience even as their stock values crash?
How can you trust an industry, in the case of the print media, who's business model is to champion people who can't and won't read their product?
