Michael Gordon does his thing

Salon:

The Bush administration's most reliable pro-surge "reporter," Michael Gordon of The New York Times, this morning filed an article -- headlined: "U.S. Ties Iranians to Iraq Attack That Killed G.I.'s" -- that might be the most war-fueling article yet with regard to Iran. Gordon's article is 23 paragraphs long, and makes some of the most inflammatory accusations against Iran imaginable...read on

And the NY Times is forced to correct Gordon.

mcjoan: "Apparently in response to reader comments and e-mails, Barney Calame takes Michael Gordon and the NYT editors to task for his decidedly pro-administration reporting on Iran...read on

Glenn also notes that Gordon's article has been changed in Update II.  And then there's this on "military spokesman" Brig. Gen. Kevin J. Bergner. It becomes very difficult to trust these messengers anymore. I did hear Michael Ware tell basically the same story on CNN, but I'm not sure if it came from Bergner.

Another zionist push for war with Iran. Has the Israeli coup of the US government succeeded?

If an Iran/Israel war breaks out, which side should we take?

I don't believe anything anyone (neo-cons/Bush-administration-types/apologists for) tells me anymore. Why should I? Once proven liars, I don't listen anymore. With neo-cons it goes back to WMD and the lies to start the war. All that has followed is lies. Lies lies lies; not listening.

Greenwald rocks! He's all over this, and the parallels with the stupid aluminum tubes arguments are right on.

Excuse me, but the part you cite by mcjoan was written already in February! This has nothing to do with the current Gordon article, except that it shows that Gordon has learned exactly nothing since February (or, has not changed his agenda since then).

they will. not us, but they. about 20% of the 28% (i figure at least 8% are just going along with the lies).

...and they think we will be busy being outraged over Libby's unconscionable avoidance, and Cheney "investigations," and the fact that Alberto Gonzales has "disappeared" off the radar map to notice the war "chattering."

Is Michael Gordon's nickname Flash?

They better take away his charge account with London Fog.
