Operation Iraqi Freedom Documents
They can ignore, ignore, ignore or even try to discredit all they want (which is what we predicted two weeks ago they would do).
However, the MSM needs to understand that no one is paying attention any more. When they lost their monopoly we saw clearly their agenda (for those who hadn't already seen it).
If they want people to start paying attention again, they should do what my old friend Mark Twain said was their duty.
Mark Twain did not say: "The duty of the press is to be agenda driven and avoid anything that conflicts with their agenda."
Mark Twain said: "The duty of the press is to print the truth and raise hell."
Two, or one, still believe this, but most don't understand what the truth is. And here, with these documents, the truth so far is that they exist, they tell a story and that story is being uncovered. In the end I suspect we will learn that the truth is not what they told us it was.
Evidence then is not evidence unless is proves what you want it to
Maybe they get interested if somebody told them the boxes were full of chads.
They know the documents tell us nothing new, when they haven't read them yet. They haven't been translated yet.
That tells you everything you need to know about these people.
They are still misquoting the 911 commission, when obviously even the commission didn't have access to this material.
I'm sure there were a lot of misgivings about putting this material out there for the public, but it was genius. We can see that everyone, the political establishment, CIA, State, and the press itself, has had an interest in shaping the story more than merely communicating the story.
Bush has gone over their heads to the American people. It was a hail-mary move.
"And then there's the ubiquitous Michael Scheuer, a former CIA official who pops up in a silly and dismissive front-page piece on the documents in today's New York Times. He notes that "there's no quality control" when you just throw a bunch of documents out into the public domain."
The CIA controlled the "quality" so well they missed 9/11.
