The Poor Man has a great side-by-side analysis of "Rathergate" vs. the Saddam/WMD lies on the part of the Bush Administration.
Matt Yglesias has the bottom line:
This judgment -- the judgment that took us to war, the judgment that's led to all the many American casualties and the many more Iraqi casualties, didn't reflect any sort of international consensus whatsoever. If people aren't aware of that fact (which they largely aren't) it's because the "liberal media" was so busy gearing up to "embed" reporters and put on a show of patriotic pomp when the shooting started that they couldn't be bothered to tell anyone what was going on. Needless to say, unlike with the Killian memo story, no one has been held accountable for this and no one ever will be.
But what are the screaming heads regarding as the more heinous crime?
Take a guess.
