« New York Times: Iraq Sought Al Qaeda Alliance (Who Said That? Oh Yeah: The New York Times) |

Maybe This Explains Cheney's Anger at the NYTConsider: The administration gave a document proving the ties between Al Qaeda and Iraq "several weeks ago," by the NYT's own admission. The Times claims it's been "verifying" the document for all that time. One might suspect they were waiting for an opportune time to run it, say, after the staff of the 9-11 commission issued a statement denying ties between Iraq and Al Qaeda specifically repudiated by the 9-11 Co-Chairmen. And also note that the Times didn't take long to "verify" the claims of the 9-11 staff. They received them and printed them that very day. But when a document -- already authenticated by US intelligence -- is delived to the NYT, they take "several weeks" to verify it themselves. What accounts for this divergence in verification procedures, I wonder? But that's not the main point. This is. The New York Times -- even if it was "verifying" this document -- chose to claim for weeks that there was no tie at all, while during this period they had in their possession a document proving, or at least purporting to prove, the precise opposite. Liberal bias? Nahhhhh. Couldn't be. Liberal-Baiting Epilogue: Since we all know that George W. Bush was not, in fact, elected in 2000, does this mean he's eligible for a third term in 2008? Update: Captain's Quarters makes some hay of all this too. As does Strange Women Lying in Ponds, who also hears the New York Times urging the public to "Move on, nothing to see here." And I almost called this post "Tomorrow Kausfiles' Take, Today." How right I was. I'm glad that at least someone sort of in big media gets this outrage. posted by Ace at 02:27 AM
CommentsAwesome point about the third term! We'll have to get a fleet of lawyers working on this one. Posted by: Patrick on June 25, 2004 09:02 AM
"Since we all know that George W. Bush was not, in fact, elected in 2000, does this mean he's eligible for a third term in 2008?" Interesting point. Anyone care to take a stab at this one? Anyone? Bueller?? Posted by: IdFaciam on June 25, 2004 09:20 AM
Maybe all documents that provide evidence of Iraqi-Al Queda links should also include allegations of marital infidelities by Republicans because then they would be reported immediately by the media... Posted by: WindyCity on June 25, 2004 09:47 AM
Sorry Ace, Here's the exact wording of the 22nd ammendment to the constitution: "No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once..." So even though the democrats believe that ALGORE was elected and Bush was selected, since he's acted as president for more than two years, he can only be elected one more time. On the other hand, Bill Clinton never won a majority in either of his elections, and he certainly never acted Presidental when in office, so I think he can make a case that he should be allowed to run again.

Dave, Dang. I thought I was on to something. Posted by: Ace on June 25, 2004 01:45 PM
Ace - you still are! The dimocraps insist that Cheney has been the real acting President since 2000. So hell yeah - Bush-Rice 2008! Posted by: Enas Yorl on June 25, 2004 02:47 PM

Candace OwensFor such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.

And a song with another song as an intro, too: Be it sight, sound, smell, or touch There's something Inside that we need so much The sight of a touch, or the scent of a sound Or the strength of an oak with roots deep in the ground The wonder of flowers to be covered and then to burst up Thru tarmac, to the sun again Boy do they look like absolute dorks.
