Which is It?
David Kay, the ex-head of the weapons inspection team, says everyone was wrong and the intelligence was evidently faulty. What about the Dr. David Kelly pronouncement that he thought Iraq was within days of deploying WMDs?
Another news service report out of Iraq states the head of the Iraq Governerning Council insists there are WMDs.
The BBC Shows the Good Grace to Apologize
A second BBCer resigned today as a result of the scandalous treatment of Dr. David Kelly, the late British scientist, and Prime Minister Tony Blair. Unlike the U.S. print media, BBC shows its good will by taking responsibility for its written lies about both men, and publically apologizes to Mr. Blair. Remember, it was BBC who catigated Blair, tried to blame him for the suicide of Dr. Kelly.
Can you imagine even one of the NY Times liars apologizing for their blatant lies about President Bush and his administration? Of course not. These folks weren't taught either by their culture (or even their mothers, evidently) about how to graciously accept blame for mistakes, misquotes and poorly documented and researched articles. But in our coarse culture, ego-driven defiance is the standard. Too bad.
