re: As someone else once said
I reiterate what I wrote Saturday: "Even if this incident turns out to be false, our previous policies have made it perfectly plausible."
Is that the level of proof we're working under, now? It isn't true, but it COULD be?
Are you aware of how many other incidents in Sullivan's catalog on that post are from similar sources? That al Qaeda trains its people to lie in courts and to the media about their treatment?
What we have here is a news magazine that has been breaking its back to find ways to wreck the war effort, and unwittingly hit the jackpot.
Twist it all you like. As with CBS News and other cases, the media got caught again with its agenda showing. People will make their own decisions which side Newsweek is on.
Also linked by Sullivan today: Bias at the BBC. Quite similar to the conclusions Goldberg drew on the U.S. media.
