Yeah a lot would have wondered about him - many people were already wondering why Iraq was so nice to him while Newsweek reporters are "missing" in Bagdad and most others have been kicked out. However lets be honest. Most of what he said you've heard ad naseum the past week on most American media outlets. He was basically aping the New York Times' position. The problem was where and how he said those things. He said them in a government run media outlet which many feel is also being used for command and control. He didn't add the usual caveats to the report. Further he should have known how the Iraqi government would have used the report. That was irresponsible. |
