Many more documents are to be released in the coming months. Quite possibly, they will vindicate the decision to undertake the Iraq war; help maintain public support for fighting it; and radically change our understanding of Saddam's role in international terrorism.
I wonder.
In a fair world this would certainly be true. There is no question that FR, the blogs, talk radio and Fox News will cover this story in great depth. But the reaction of the MSM will certainly be to try to ignore and/or discount the credibility of the documents and to play down the story anyway they can. I don't expect them to stop calling Bush a liar anytime soon.
I believe that this will be a real test of the power of FR and blogs the real media. We may have another "Rather Moment" on our hands if the public can see through the fog that the MSM will lay down and recognize that they have been lied to for three long years. Time will tell. I'm hopeful but not confident.
I have yet to read or hear anything in Big Media about these latest developments which conclusively prove our case against Hussein. Fox has to get on this and trumpet this loudly. It may be preaching to the choir, but a fair share of libs might see it. And for the life of me, if an ex-Dem senator like Kerrey announces this, why doesn't the Bush admin shout this news out?
