The shame of the "balanced" media, part MDCCLXXIII
From the Times article about the news conference given yesterday by Bush and Blair:
How hard is it for David E. Sanger and Jim Fucking Rutenberg to come out and say, “But those prosecutions have focused on low-level soldiers and have not held senior officers accountable”? Who are the “critics” they’re citing? Bald Fact? Stark Reality?
Does the Times copy editor insert things like “Mr. Bush's critics have noted that” to fill out the columns?
In any event, happy Memorial Day.

But Mr. Bush emphasized that American soldiers had been punished for the abuses. "Unlike Iraq, however, under Saddam, the people who committed those acts were brought to justice," he said. Mr. Bush's critics have noted that the prosecutions have focused on low-level soldiers and have not held senior officers accountable.
