The New York Times Worries About Disclosures, The Government Caves
Published Fri, Nov 3 2006 9:09 AM
It's in the PI. "The action came after The New York Times raised questions about the contents of the government site". This is the government site that apparently proves that terrorists were in Iraq before the war. This is the government site that apparently proves that Saddam had a chemical weapons program that was "alarming" to the United Nations. This is the government site that even the fishwrapper of record now admits apparently proves that Saddam was less than a year away from having nuclear weapons.
Isn't it funny how two organizations that have been demanding that we show them evidence that there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, or denying that there ever were any, now want us to cover it up? U.N. Inspectors, who claimed that Iraq didn't have chemical weapons, get "alarmed" when a document describes the nerve agents tabun and sarin, and the U.S. removes those documents from the site. The fishwrapper notices documents that describe nuclear weapons programs and complains, and less than a day later the whole site is taken down.
Wasn't the New York Times the one that wanted everybody to know our secrets? Isn't that why they keep publishing them? Hasn't the New York Times been the one yelling "show me the money" about weapons of mass destruction?
Now when there's evidence that there really was a serious WMD program in Iraq they want it shoved under the rug. That way, they can continue to blame the government, instead of having to apologize to the nation for the "Bush Lied" meme...
Leaning Straight Up has somewhat to say about this too.
