Subject: RE: Washinton Post issues mea culpa for prewar coverage
Assistant managing editor Bob Woodward told Mr.
Kurtz that no journalist wanted to challenge the
belief that weapons of mass destruction existed in
Iraq, in case weapons were later found. "I think it
was part of the group-think."
Sounds like they're claiming that if they weren't so
focused on supporting Bush they would have known the
WMDs didn't exist. Monday morning quarter backing.
