P2, Ledeen and the Niger forgeries
I haven't finished reading it. I neverthless feel compelled to direct your attention to Craig Unger's excellent new piece on the Niger forgeries, published in Vanity Fair. Even when Unger goes over familiar ground, he manages to grip the reader's attention. He dares to delve into the P2 links, which most writers on this topic still prefer to avoid. Check it out!

Unger says, on the role of the press in selling the "War on Terror" and the Iraq war in particular:
The role of the media in this manipulation cannot be understated. The abdication of the media's role as an independent watchdog and its whole subsumation as a propaganda organ bodes ill for any democracy, because a well-informed public is vital to its functioning.
Good to see a quote like that coming from a mainstream publication. I hope it starts a ball rolling that will roll right over these criminals. Not holding my breath, but it does put it out there; hope it has more success penetrating than RFK's RS article.
