Here is a link to direct you to two reports on this week's dose of Bush administration red herring offerings on the weekend's menu for mass reading and believing. Next week they'll offer the Brooklyn Bridge for sale, I suspect:

| |  'NYT' Reporter Who Got Iraqi WMDs Wrong Now Highlights Iran Claims*
Hold your nose and pay attention to the track record of reporter Gordon, who believed the WMD lies and passed them on fully, with little or no checking four years ago. "When will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?" is the theme song for the Times in particular, who already apologized for Gordon and Judith Miller's errors four years ago. May they sharpen their investigative journalism quickly this week, and may Democrats do some sharp question asking, which the reporters did or could not do, and whose cell phones and other recording equipment was taken away from them as they listened to anonymous sources, one of whom the Iraqi media revealed, and criticized for going down a military direction rather than using diplomacy. May we learn from the weary, bloodied Iraquis who failed to defeat Iran in a tragic war that we encouraged by helping our former buddy Sadaam Hussein with chemical weapons, before we decided he was our enemy, and our convenient excuse for protecting our oil interests in Iraq by invading and bombing with great Shock and Awe, that also failed badly, except in profits to armaments manufacturers. Even the oil wells are producing less petroleum than they did under Sadaam, despite our overpaid contractors and Bush oil expert friends' efforts during these four expensive years. How much more can we afford of Shrub & Co.?
