Don't you just love the liberal media? I was just watching Wolf Blitzer on CNN interviewing Colin Powell. He alleged that Colin Powell (the Secretary of State) was complicit in forging documents to present to the United Nations. When are those morons going to learn? I really think we should revive treason and sedition laws and start using them.

A few years ago, the Associated Press let "Russians avert nuclear strike" slip out as a headline for an article about a nuclear power plant labor strike. The realized the problem and quickly revised it.
