Niger
July 19 -- Failing
to Own Up to Joe Wilson's Credibility Collapse
When will the NYT admit its favorite anti-war horse has come up lame?
July 15 -- Bush
Right on Uranium, but Marquis Misses the Scoop
Christopher Marquis covers the British report on problems with prewar
intelligence but misses a big part of the story validating Bush's assertion that
Saddam Hussein was shopping around for uranium.
July 14 -- Times
(Finally) Tackles Joseph Wilson
At last, the Times broaches the lost credibility of its former
anti-war favorite, Amb. Joseph Wilson of uranium and Niger fame--but shuns the
heart of the issue.
July 12 -- Say
It Ain't So, Joe (Wilson)
The Senate intelligence report has new insight on what the U.S. knew about
Saddam Hussein's attempt to acquire uranium from Africa--and Ambassador Joseph
Wilson's lack of credibility. But the Times, which boosted Wilson, glosses over
the finding. Not so the Washington Post.
April 7 -- "Preventable"
9-11 Puts Rice on the Spot?
David Sanger and Philip Shenon again claim Condoleezza Rice is under pressure,
since the 9-11 commission thinks the WTC attacks were preventable. But
commission leaders have never pinned blame on Bush or Rice. Also, the
"uranium from Niger" legend returns.
January 22 -- Douglas
Jehl's Dubious CIA Sources
Douglas Jehl pumps up the import of a group of
retired CIA agents pressing Congress for an inquiry into Valerie Plame, but
leaves out the left-wing anti-war connections of some members.
November 20 -- A
Bush "Setback" and More Nonsense on Niger
David Sanger personalizes the decision of an
international nuclear watchdog group as a "setback" for Bush and
issues a new version of the old "Uranium from Niger" canard.
October 30 -- Dowdy
Old Anti-War Talking Points
Columnist Maureen Dowd stumbles through the liberal
anti-war litany.
October 17 -- The Times Corrects Itself
On Niger
The Times catches up with the Washington Post, finally correcting a front-page
story that conflated Niger with all of Africa. But they still have a few more to
go.
October 14 -- The Post Outclasses
the Times
At least one national newspaper recognizes an "obvious mistake" when it makes
one.
August 8 -- Times Hacks Bob Novak
Facts
Douglas Jehl sympathizes with the trials of Joseph Wilson, the instigator of the
Bush-uranium-Niger controversy, and accuses columnist Robert Novak of outing his
wife as a covert C.I.A. operative. Well, Novak didnt, but Jehl apparently
just did.
