Where were our journalists when we needed them most...?

josh asks the right question...
How many of the stories coming out now under the very broad heading of botched or manipulated intelligence could have been reported and written at more or less any time over the last two years? I suspect the answer is, the great majority of them.

They're getting written now because the president's poor poll numbers make him a readier target.

i predict that the past 5 years will go on record as one of the most shameful periods in america's history, a time when the american people and their supposedly free media turned their backs on the responsibilities of good citizens to hold their government accountable...
