In today's Washington Post, about the reporter who originally discovered the "Niger uranium"-Iraq documents:
"Italian journalist who gave the documents to the U.S. Embassy in Rome nine months ago told reporters yesterday that when she returned from a trip to Niger to check them out, she told her editor that "the story seemed fake to me" and published nothing on it.
Elisabetta Burba, a foreign correspondent for the Italian news magazine Panorama, said in an interview with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, "I realized that this could be a worldwide scoop, but that's exactly why I was very worried. If it turned out to be a hoax, and I published it, I would have ended my career."
THis lady is clearly below the golden parachute line, where, if you pull off something really spectacular, you may win big, but if you f-uck up big time, you lose even bigger.
Bush and Condeeeeeeeeeeeee... and Cheney and Blair(?), being above the golden parachute line, can say this kind of stuff and it only further aggrandizes their majesty to lead the world.
As Marcel Duchamp did not entitle one of his readymades:
Why not puke?
