Froomkin Just Another Delusional Liberal Flake

Another Stab at the Truth

There are some hugely important aspects of the Bush presidency that remain insufficiently examined, and the most important are about the run-up to war in Iraq.

Polls show that a majority of Americans believe President Bush and his associates intentionally misled the public in making their case for war. It's a terribly serious charge, if true. In fact, it's hard to imagine a more serious charge against a president.

But is it true?

Did Bush, Vice President Cheney and others know the intelligence they were citing wasn't reliable? Did they purposefully understate the considerable doubts within the intelligence community? Did they consciously exaggerate the extent of the findings?

And after the war, when critics began to emerge, why were they so obsessed with discrediting anyone who suggested as much, rather than just responding with a factual defense?

With a few partial exceptions , the media has proven itself unable to answer these questions definitively.

There were once two promising official lines of inquiry. Special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald, by all accounts, has collected a considerable amount of related information in the process of investigating the leak of CIA agent Valerie Plame's identity during a White House drive to discredit her husband.

But it looks as though he's not going to make public most of what he's found out, apparently having decided to limit himself to a narrowly defined obstruction-of-justice case against former vice presidential chief of staff Scooter Libby.

Danny Boy you wouldn't know the truth if it was a 2X4 hitting you across the face (not a bad image to fantasize about). Your editorial is just another example of a Liberal wallowing his own imaginings and mistaking them for the truth. Since when is taking your opponents claims apart in a factual manner being

"obsessed with discrediting anyone who suggested as much, rather than just responding with a factual defense?"

I have seen no obsession other than that of the Bush-haters of the extreme left, such as yourself, with trying to destroy or discredit President Bush by any means. Your obsession with President Bush has been so obsessive as to approach pathological dimensions. To fools like you and your cheerleaders at sites like democraticunderground.com President Bush has become the cause of all the ills of the Earth.

As I have come to expect from the pages of the rapidly dying Washington Post, your posts have more in common with DNC propaganda than they do with covering the news. Your article today is nothing more than a thinly veiled Democrat wish list. You have the journalistic integrity of a Cold War Era Pravda publisher.
