This Guardian story from yesterday surely looks like what newsie folks like to call a “stinging rebuke”. Except this particular rebuke ended up costing us a few thousand lives. Ministers insisted that British secret agents would only be allowed to pass intelligence to the CIA to help it capture Osama bin Laden if the agency [...]

HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) – A woman screaming “you’re not a real conservative, sir” was removed by police from a welcoming reception for likely GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson Wednesday morning.

Bob Owens has learned that the Associated Press seems to have an interesting set of standards for what sort of stories coming out Iraq they’ll report.
