So Little Discussion of the Smoking Gun

Smoking guns must not have quite the same grab as mushroom clouds, because in light of the "breaking news" of something many of us knew, that Bush and Blair cooked the Iraq war out of whole cloth just to get it going, it's been mentioned at best parenthetically by the mainstream media this week. So many times this week, I either heard it specifically avoided or mentioned, as I said, parenthetically, as if Americans all knew about it so the media didn't need to tell them about it again.

This seems amazingly strange. Stranger still when the press acts like it's no biggie.

You know, the same media who spent 8-10 hours a day bombarding us with Clinton, Lewinsky, and cigar minutae. But a faked war doesn't need discussion.
