Again, I think they asked the questions. I mean W and his admin. have been asked why there were no WMD after all, he has been asked about the false linking of AL-Q and SH, he has been asked about the rush to war, he has ben confronted about the war for oil. His answers to those have been discussed in the media. I did not agree with some of his answers, but he was asked the questins. What else do you want the media to ask him or his administration? Moreover, the media cannot attack the Pres. on the WMD issue because the world supported him on it. I mean W has the winning hand there.

Moreover, the media sword cuts both ways. I mean they took the no linkage of SH and 9/11 recent conclusion and printed headlines that said no link between SH and Al-Q which just was not true. There have been links in the past. So, the admin. is correct there. The correct headline should have been no link beween SH and 9/11. Yet, the media spun it.
