Story is here.
So on the morning after it was revealed that the predicate for the war in Iraq, a historical American calamity, was an administration concocted forgery that should result in both Bush and Cheney going from the White House to the Big House, Huffington Post runs a screamer on its front page about Bush's PROMISE (which is worthless) to criticize the Chinese on human rights when he arrives in China for the olympic games. The White House press office couldn't have hoped for anything better.
The Huffington Post has thus made the forgery a one day story and will join the long list of myopic media organizations who didn't see how historically important the revelation about the forgery was.
If HuffPo had any real guts and foresight, they would keep the forgery story roiling as wingunt talk radio did about the Sudan bombing story or the Lewinsky nonsense during the Clinton years. But I guess that's too much to ask.
Censored'
Note: Apparently better to pretty much act as another p.r. outlet for a White House stunt rather than devote that space to a historically more important story. Hey, I see this tree, but where is the forest?
