"The Story". I see I'm not the only one who thinks this is BIG.

Although I'm a bit discouraged it isn't getting more coverage so far. But these things take time.

This morning's DU headline article is "The Story" by Raul Groom. Besides sharing my taste in music (Soul Coughing), Raul also shares my instinct that Sunday's Washington Post article by Barton Gellman and Walter Pincus is "The Story", despite all the mania about Kobe, Arnie, et al. (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A39500-2003Aug9.html)

Or, as I put it in my post yesterday highlighting points from the piece, it was a shot across the bow of the Bush administration. (http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=162291)

Again, these things take time. I can't count the number of times I've heard those around during Watergate (I was only about 10) that the story festered and grew over many months. It takes time for good reporters to investigate and put together such stories. It takes time for the rest of the media and the politicians to pick up the gauntlet. Despite the current pundt fascination with this week's story, or next, the important parties are not losing sight of "The Story". The Post and the Times, the British press, politicians like Waxman, Rockefeller, Graham, and even some Republicans... they haven't lost sight of "The Story".

This will continue to build, mark my words.
