Washington Post whoring Bush admin. lies again...

Fredd Hiatt, his publisher Donald Graham, and other editors and writers for the WASHINGTON POST are at it again: SUBVERTING AMERICAN DEMOCRACY for fun and profit, pushing Bush administration's LIES in order to bolster the "UNITARY EXECUTIVE" model of draconian, KGB/Getsapoesque ONE PARTY RULE and dictatorial, corporate political hegemony during an indefinite state of emergency - their beloved "war on terra."

MAYBE the Whore Post HASN'T NOTICED: that the Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld administration has spent HUNDREDS of BILLIONS of taxpayer dollars, and American military blood - and have never caught the perpetrator of the 9-11 attacks, Osama bin Laden, or even unmasked his financial support network. (read: Saudi Arabia.)

And MAYBE the whore editors and publisher of the Post have FAILED TO NOTICE: that the Cheney-Bush administration is funding SUNNI TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS in Lebanon (vs. Hezbollah there) and now in Pakistan (to incite terror raids and assassinations in Iran).

Apparently, FUNDING AL QAIDA LINKED ORGANIZATIONS, and ALLOWING Osama bin Laden to roam free, is the treacherous WASHINGTON POST's vision of excellence for the "War on Terror"

Washington Post Misleads, Contradicts Own Reporting, To Attack Pelosi
Think Progress

The Washington Post editorial page today published a vicious editorial attacking Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), calling her “ludicrous” and describing her bipartisan trip to Syria as an “attempt to establish a shadow presidency.”

The editorial rests on two claims, both of which are baseless.

1) Pelosi passed an incorrect message from Israel to Syria. Pelosi said yesterday that she gave Syrian officials the message that Israel is “ready to engage in peace talks.” The Post falsely claims, “The Israeli prime minister entrusted Ms. Pelosi with no such message,” misinterpreting a statement from the Israeli Prime Minister’s office that simply reiterated its position that talks with Syria will not take place until Syria has taken steps to end its support for extremist elements. There is no evidence that Pelosi failed to communicate this message. In fact, Pelosi’s delegation specifically pressed the Syrian president “over Syria’s support for militant groups and insist[ed] that his government block militants seeking to cross into Iraq and join insurgents there.”

2) Pelosi is attempting to “establish a shadow presidency.” This claim is directly contradicted by the Post’s own reporting this morning, which states, “Foreign policy experts generally agree that Pelosi’s dealings with Middle East leaders have not strayed far, if at all, from those typical for a congressional trip.” Pelosi herself has “described the trip as little different than the visit paid to Syria the same week led by Rep. Frank R. Wolf (R-VA),” and she went to great lengths to express her unity of purpose with President Bush on terrorism issues. The Post’s own reporting today also cites several instances of members of Congress meeting with foreign leaders during the past 30 years. As ThinkProgress noted yesterday, in contrast with Pelosi’s trip, previous congressional actions abroad attempted to directly undermine President Clinton.

Fred Hiatt and the Post editorial page get it wrong on Pelosi just like they got it wrong on the recent Iraq legislation, the U.S. Attorney scandal, the CIA leak investigation, the decision to invade Iraq, and on and on and on.
