Did Time intentionally deceive its readers in Plame case?
From Media Matters:
For some time, the central mystery in the Valerie Plame saga was which members of the White House staff leaked the undercover CIA operative’s identity to reporters. Although there are still many unanswered questions, at least part of the mystery has been solved: Time magazine correspondent Matthew Cooper has testified that he was told about Plame by White House senior adviser Karl Rove and I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff. Yet while Cooper and his editors at Time spent two years keeping Rove and Libby’s — and their own — role a secret, they published articles that reported, without challenge, a statement from the White House that they knew to be false.
…and still people persist with the claim that the media is chock full of liberals that control every aspect of what gets reported.

I enjoy reading your blog. I thought I was the only radical, liberal from our family. Now with gas at $3-4 a gallon and rising, I wonder what other countries Bush will decide are part of the Evil Sith Empire and deserve to be invaded by us? Anything for the Bush family honor and a few more oil wells?
By the way, both you and your brother should email me more often.
