WMD's & the NY Times -- Bruce Barlett: "You [Donald Luskin] missed the real story behind the New York Times' WMD coverage. It is precisely because the paper has been so relentlessly negative about Bush that its support for the administration's view on WMD's stood out. People like me figured that if the Times thought there were WMDs in Iraq, then they had to be there. Because, given the paper's biases, it would have done everything in its power to refute the administration's evidence if it could. Therefore, to the extent that the invasion of Iraq was wrong because of a mistaken belief that it had WMDs, the Times is as responsible as anyone. link. Posted by Greg Ransom | TrackBack
