The New York Times > Washington > Campaign 2004 > The Candidates: Iraq Explosives Become Issue in Campaign

This news story by Sanger is nothing more than highlighting news that the Times attempted to make on Monday. It rehashes old news that the Times published yesterday (being very careful not to say when the explosives disappeared thus leaving the impression that they disappeared recently!)...published only in an attempt to embarrass the Bush administration in the waning days of the campaign. Decisions to run this news story and the one on Monday show the intense liberal, let's-see-if-we-can-help-Kerry bias, of the Times. They should be ashamed of themselves, serving up fodder on Monday for the Kerry campaign and front-paging reactions to it today. The Times should admit to biased news journalism, then at least they'd be honest. This quote below from a story on the CBS News site says the explosives disappeared before the US invasion. Yet Kerry and his tribe are suggesting that the someone stole the explosives recently. Kerry and the Times are seemingly in cahoots here. With egregious examples such as this, neither can be trusted.

"NBC News, which had correspondents embedded with the U.S. soldiers who reached the al-Qaqaa site in April 2003, said the GIs never found the explosives but did see other stockpiles of conventional weapons."

Kerry and Edwards simply do not tell the truth and the Times is not much better when it comes to the possibility that Bush will win this election.
