Quote of the Day "I'm mindful of the filter through which news travels. Sometimes you just have to go over the heads of the filter and go directly to the people." President Bush, in an interview distributed to 24 Hearst-owned stations yesterday. My problem with this: the news organizations filter information for many things, including accuracy. We appear to need that filter more than ever, what with the current administration's obsession with PR.
Identical letters, signed by different soldiers stationed in Kirkuk in Iraq, have been sent to their families and to local newspapers all over the country. Coincidence? Here's more on the story, and here, and here is a story about how it (allegedly) happened. Thanks to FARK, Agnoist and Tom Tomorrow for the links.
