You're right. Why should I apply ethical standards to THAT rag?
...it is pretty middle of the road which is not their usual reporting position...
This is on thier editorial page no less...I guess it would have veered left had it been actual reporting.
I figured "Washington Times" was the correct answer, but Washington Post....
wow...wonders never cease....
What's up?
Thanks for the comments.
I think it would be interesting for folks who participated on this thread to check out another. Fog724 pointed it out to me.

On July 18, 2003, the administration, facing criticism for the intelligence used to justify the war, declassified an eight-page part of the NIE dubbed "key judgments" and conducted a lengthy background briefing with reporters to discuss it.“Key judgments" is the operative word here. They were declassified by Tenet in October of 2002, six days after the NIE was complete per the following information:
On October 7, 2002 DCI Tenet sent a letter to the Senate Intelligence Committee declassifying portions of its new National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq.
Another article:
A 25-page version of the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction was released in October 2002. It made clear-cut statements about Iraq's nuclear, biological and chemical weapons capabilities in two pages of "Key Judgments."A copy of the Key Judgments document can be found here. Warning: .pdf file.
As usual, the MSM gets it wrong.
Maybe they want take down the NYT and become the new "paper of record?"
