This is the lead paragraph in an AP "news" article about the trumped-up crisis over the President's case for war in Iraq. The White House has mostly bungled this from a communications POV, but is this lead-off an example of fair and balanced journalism? Hardly.
The White House defense of President Bush's now-disavowed claim that Iraq was seeking uranium in Africa has evolved over the last two weeks: blame others, stonewall, bury questions in irrelevant information and, above all, hope it will go away. So far, none has worked.Posted by Alan at July 21, 2003 09:54 PMvia AP and ABC News
