Blair's testimony link

The whole thing can be found here.

A lot more information, isn't there?

When you read a newspaper article, do you ever follow it up? Check out the sources for yourself? As skeptical as you are on almost everything, does it ever cross your mind that maybe a journalist might be...well...trying to fill your head with a load of steaming shit?

How much did he leave out? How much did he have to skip over to get to that part on Afghanistan? What other news stories and headlines could be written from that same document by someone with other points of view? Would those stories be any more accurate on the overall document?

I like to draw my own conclusions when the original information is available.
