Who is this Michael Gordon on MTP? Timmy rolls out his old "we were told we'd be greeted as liberators", and Gordon says he was an embed and in fact in some places we were. Think Timmy will drop that line after this? Hah.

That's better than I expected from Gordon.  This is what I'd found about him and posted on the Preview thread: 

• Michael Gordon, chief military correspondent for the New York Times (NBC Meet The Press)

• New York Times raises new charges against German intelligence (World Socialist Web Site)
• Germans Deny 'NY Times' Iraq Report, Keller Holds Firm (Editor & Publisher)
• Editor's Response to German Statement on Times Report (The New York Times)

In addition he's the co-author, with Gen. Bernard Trainor (Ret.), of Cobra II: The Inside Story of the Invasion & Occupation of Iraq

I don't remember Gordon at the moment. Sorry.

The point is, IMHO, Old Media is invested in the lies they kept telling readers and viewers and to admit they were wrong justifies all the past criticisms they've had. General Sada will be disbelieved by Old Media because his information does not conform to their preconceived opinions. Old Media went beyond the usual distortions and now they feel compelled to defend the indefensible.
