I read an AP story a few minutes ago and I realized something. The AP lied.
The leak from the commission yesterday was that Iraq was linked to al-Quaeda, but not to 9/11. Accoording to AP today, that is not the case. Yet all over radio and TV yesterday, that is how it was reported. In fact, CNN this morning called the lack of an Iraq link a blunt contradicitont o one of the reasons for going to war. While I can't find a story about it (go figure), I remember President Bush saying in a press conference, specifically, that Iraq was NOT linked to 9/11, but they were linked al-Quaeda. AP and CNN however were all over it to say just the opposite. To me this epitomizes media bias, and is a bold faced lie.
On a side note, the media needs to standardize how they spell al-Quaeda. I obviously like al-Quaeda, the AP usually uses al-Quaida. I've seen it a couple of different ways though.
