They owe us an apology

Among others, these people need to apol­o­gize for being so spec­tac­u­larly wrong about the war in Iraq:

• Bob Arnot
• Fred Barnes
• Jeff Birnbaum
• David Carr
• Joie Chen
• Alan Colmes
• Ceci Connolly
• Lou Dobbs
• Bob Edwards
• Howard Fineman
• Fred Francis
• Christo­pher Hitchens
• Brit Hume
• Gwen Ifill
• Morton Kondracke
• Charles Krauthammer
• Bill O’Reilly
• Chris Matthews
• Dick Morris
• William Raspberry
• William Safire
• Joe Scarborough
• Tony Snow
• Cal Thomas
• Judy Woodruff
• Edi­tors of Newsweek
• Edi­tors of the LA Times

Some of them are prob­a­bly happy to admit that they were wrong. Others…

Well, let’s just say that accord­ing to experts, tor­ture is use­less for infor­ma­tion gath­er­ing, but works like a charm for forced con­fes­sions. So let’s cross-​reference this list with the one of people on record sup­port­ing tor­ture and see if we can’t give them what they want. O’Reilly? You’re up first.

Why? How about get­ting this story com­pletely back­wards. If Saddam was really making up all that stuff about WMDs, then why did the pres­i­dent say that he had evi­dence? Why did he kick out the weapons inspec­tors? Why did he send Colin Powell to the U.N.? And if it was all made up, what was Powell talk­ing about?

You, sir, are despi­ca­ble. I hon­estly have no idea how you sleep at night.

Not far enough

I fully sup­port the Min­istry of Reshelv­ing in all of their goals, but I have to wonder if they’re will­ing to go far enough. If 1984 belongs in Cur­rent Events or U.S. His­tory, where should we shelve Bill O’Reilly? Fan­tasy? What about Ann Coulter?
