Re: State Dept. calls the CIA a liar



Actually this story was amazing not for what it said but what it didn't say.
Not ONCE does the word "hydrogen" appear in the story, nor any reference to
the British government study. Either the reporter knows a lot, and has
chosen to deliberately exclude important related material from the article,
or he knows very little, and is just parroting a leak from the State Dept.
Pretty sad in either case.

It's always interesting to note what is excluded from articles. The New York
Times will carefully tell is that "L. Paul Bremer III" (as if we really care
or it is at all relevant what his full Ivy League name is) is the head of
the "Coalition Provisional Authority" (as if we might have forgotten who he
was since the previous story mentioning his name), but when it comes to
including IMPORTANT background material which would actually help the
average reader understand a story better, forget it.
