The article was written in January. The war began in March. Unless Mr. Thompson had ESP, the (continuing) press coverage nails the DNC-press and validates Mr. Thompson's claims here.

Oh, I see the democrats and the media doing just what Thompson's article predicted that they would do. I'm just saying that I don't know if Thompson's source even exists. For all I know, he could have made a prediction based on how the 'rats operate.

As for the credibility of Doug Thompson, why is every mainstream reporter who chose to parrot Doug's "Uranium" article any more credible? Indeed, the mainstream reporters have been lying about our efforts in Iraq from day one. UN-credible!

They're not more credible. None of them are.

I try to always be skeptical of unnamed sources, whether they come down on my side or not. As for Doug Thompson, I'm more than skeptical of any of his unnamed sources, and his named sources as well.

Good point. The press coverage during the war was more than simply careless, it was unreal...and clearly coordinated. This report, this article about a DNC memo written by Carville, McAuliffe, Daschle and Gephardt and o.k.ed by other DNC members isn't simply a rough outline. This is a specific list of talking points that were followed by the press.

It continues.
