It does provoke the question - "whose side are you on, pal?"

What's so beautiful to see is the NYTimes and Washington Post are hot on the trail of this, probably staffing up, and digging-digging-digging. Just like the good old days when the press was a watchdog, and not a lapdog.

There's no forgiveness OR excuse for the lazy-ass shit job they did, while mostly asleep, "covering" bush/cheney.

But they ARE acquitting themselves quite admirably here. Maybe they learned their lesson from that horrendous and near-criminal dereliction of duty. They let freakin' WAR CRIMINALS walk free. NEVER held accountable. Not EVER. Looks as though they're not willing to be so lax here, or make that mistake again. (At least not this time - maybe - for the most part - but we'll just have to watch and see.)
