BBC News: US gives up search for Iraq WMD

You know, I'd really like more coverage of this. Folks like Dean (and Byrd) should be jumping up and down and yelling "SEE? SEE?!?" But the NY Times today doesn't even mention it.

On a related note:

news.com.au: World 'safer' with bin Laden on the loose

Might explain a few things about Bush's priorities, huh?

The story just got posted to Reuters an hour ago, but it's in the NYT now (http://www.nytimes.com/reuters/news/news-iraq-weapons.html).

Hmm. Good to know that the NYT doesn't immediately put everything on their RSS feed. Thanks.

Liberal Bastion?

Funny, my father and brother in law have been giving me crap about how the NYT is this near socialist daily screed of biased hate for the Republicans. I wish there was some way I could send a negative clipping. "See, they failed to cover this..."

Well, except the obvious response is "they would have covered it if they'd known about it". The only way that I can think of that might be able to convince them otherwise about the NYT is to find a bunch of slantable stories that are covered in basically the same way by the NYT and some other paper that they consider to be a conservative bastion.
