Any chance we'll get a free(er) press out of this?

[helderheid]

The press is intimately linked to this outing case. Many in the press have blood on their hands for selling the war to the American public for the WHIG. Do you suppose when this all unravels (and I do believe we are at the very beginning of this thing) that the press will be exposed and we could end up with a free(er) press?

October 29,2005
Delivering remarks nearly identical to those he gave earlier this week, the president spoke in a largely friendly environment -- a community with an enormous military presence in a state he won comfortably over Democrat John F. Kerry last fall during a reelection race dominated by national security.

''Thanks for the chance to get out of Washington," Bush told his audience, made up heavily of military members.

Outside the Norfolk convention hall, a small group of antiwar protesters greeted him by chanting, ''Bush lies."

Inside, as the president spoke, a man on the second level interrupted him, yelling: ''Mr. President, war is terrorism. War is terrorism. Step down now, Mr. President. Torture is terrorism." Bush continued speaking as security officials escorted the man from the hall.

5. excellent! My only fear is that the press will try to cover their

collective hineys because they don't want to expose what they've been doing. I'm just hoping that part of the fallout from yesterday is that the press is exposed. :)
