I don't have any information on who it is making deals with who, but I don't suspect Morrison is anything more than a bit player in the whole affair. I am just a skeptic. After seeing how the Brodderick story and others like it are treated by the mainstream media (in contrast to Lewinsky), I tend to think nothing of this nature gets airtime unless someone has an agenda they are pushing. Lisa Myers first discussed Brodderick about 1 year before the interview actually hit Dateline. The story was known here on FR months and months before Dateline and we knew it was supposed to air in January before it was spiked until after the impeachment decision. Why? And just like the question asked of Morrison, why is this coming out now? How long do you think Morrison knew about this story before he finally wrote about it? Davis appeared on O'Reilly long, long ago so clearly this is not a new story even to the establishment media. There has to be a bigger reason why this is getting attention. Unfortunately, I doubt very much the reason has anything to do with getting to the truth.

I disagree. If someone in the Bush administration was behind this, it would have been on the front page, not the editorial page.

The WSJ took what it considers to be a big risk in covering this story, and, after watching that interview, I can see just worried the editors are about covering their backsides, in the event Bush chooses to ignore it.

I'm hopeful their desire to win a Pullitzer outweighs their concern about being labeled "tinfoilers."

At the same time, I'm hopeful they'll give credit where credit is due.

This is what I am talking about, from Time Magazine..

Conspiracy Theory: An Iraqi Connection to the Oklahoma Bombing?

"Thursday morning's Wall Street Journal dedicates ample space to an op-ed concerning the conspiracy theory that ties Iraqi terrorists to both the Oklahoma City bombing and the first World Trade Center explosion. Journal Senior Editorial Page Writer Micah Morrison looks at two investigations: the first by Jayna Davis, a former television reporter in Oklahoma City; the second by Middle East expert Laurie Mylroie who connects Iraq to the first bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993. For those who either can't get enough of conspiracy theories or deeply believe that the U.S. should attack Iraq, the long tract will probably make for pleasant morning reading.

Pleasant reading indeed. And just before the Sept. 11 anniversary. It's horrible.
