The way I read the new version is they have changed it to lay the blame sqarely on Bush by now citing an August 6 memo. They left out the 1998 part and have absolutely no mention of Clinton anywhere in the article. This is from the Washington Post version. Both articles have changed in the last ten minutes. It's been hard to keep up with it.

"Both articles have changed in the last ten minutes. It's been hard to keep up with it."

I saved a copy of the CBS story to my hard drive before they got around to changing it. If somebody wants to post it, send me a FReep mail with your e-mail address and I'll send the file.

There are only two excuses for this "mistake":

1. Incredible ignorance on the part of both the reporter and the editor.

2. A vicious all-consuming bias on the part of both, that led them to write and read what they were thinking, rather than what they knew to be fact. A truly Freudian slip...

An absolutely execrable exercise in "journalism".
