Your paper has taken a mighty tumble indeed. The sanctimonious, half-hearted, and lopsided coverage of the pre-invasion facts regarding the reason for the rush to invade will be truly something to behold when historians excoriate WaPo’s management and editors in 15 years (hopefully less).

My 'favorite' was Tom Friedman's column in about December before the invasion titled "Just Give War a Chance" wherein he railed against the millions in the U.S. and Britain who were protesting against the invasion, in effect claiming that if they were real 'flower children' of the sixties, they would approve of and support this glorious mission to re-make the Middle East into a Jeffersonian democracy and 'rid the world of a tyrant'.

How do you like the tyranny of chaos and occupation you have helped to create? Is it ‘better’ than Saddam? Do you guys really still believe that this ghastly illegal invasion and occupation is going to work? Are you guys that delusional? Do you know what Iraqi’s call American soldiers in Iraq? I’ll tell you. They call them “Jews.” Think I’m making this up? Google it.

The naivete' and similtaneous criminality of the WaPo’s gang of PNAC enabling thugs is absolutely breathtaking. Their love of Bush* and his neo-con Colonel Klinks knows no bounds...none at all. It is despicable.

And now, this.....a fricking newspaper is spending money on the 9/11 March started by the Pentagon to further the conflation created by BushCo that 9/11 and IraqNam are connected.

I really don’t see how you can look at yourselves in the mirror in the morning
