I found it sadly ironic that the Tribune chose to use the same cherry-picking method in its editorial to exonerate President Bush’s cherry-picking of intelligence information. I guess you felt that your picks allowed you to speak for chief U.S. weapons inspectors David Kay and Charles Duelfer and give us their bottom lines. And here I always thought the bottom line was that neither of them (along with the United Nations inspectors) ever found any weapons of mass destruction.
I guess that the fact that “many, although not all, of the Bush administration’s assertions about weapons of mass destruction have proven flat-out wrong” doesn’t really make any difference because you’re going to tell us in future editorials of more compelling reasons justifying the war. I do agree with you, however, that much of this discussion would be moot today if “the president had stuck to known truths” (as opposed to sticking to known untruths?).
