John Aravosis calls out the WaPo for burying Lugar's speech yesterday on Iraq

what else would we expect from the wapo...? i'm just surprised they're actually publishing their inflammatory series on cheney and, of course, still wondering why it's taken them so long to put it out there...

here's the pic john posted of wapo's page 3...

The Washington Post, God bless its Iraq-war-loving red soul, buried one of the most important war stories of the day in a little blurb hidden at the bottom of page 3. Namely, that Republican foreign policy expert, Senator Dick Lugar (R-IN), blasted George Bush, the surge, and the overall chances for success in Iraq last night in a long, detailed speech on the floor of the US Senate.

spot on...

and, to further reinforce john's point, here's the wapo email headlines that were waiting in my inbox this morning...
