Steve Hayes and "Journalistic Sanity"

My homie Steve Hayes has a postat the Weekly Standard’s blog heralding .” Naturally, I figured he was talking about my piece last weekripping Hayes apart for his repeated journalistic malpractice on the Saddam/Al Qaeda lie. But no. He’s talking about the Wall Street Journal edit page, the most laughably hackish in the business. Le sigh. Telling, I guess.
Steve writes:
We are, after all, in the middle of a global war on terror. The greatdebate over past six years has been about whether Iraq is a central
front in that war or a distraction from it. You’d think a study on
“Iraq and Terrorism” might be relevant, especially to an administration
that has struggled miserably to communicate on the war. Here is their
case, and [the White House is] choosing to ignore it.
I am totally with Steve here. 100 percent. The White House needs to blast the study from the rooftops, so White House beat reporters and TV anchors can relentlessly revisit this central lie of the administration’s. Please! Let Sen. John McCain take up the banner. In fact, let the right make a concerted push today, now that the 4000th U.S. servicemember has died in Iraq. Today. Tomorrow. Forever.
