CBS vs. WMD
News outlets couldn't get enough of "Memogate." But the failure to find Saddam's weapons? That's right up there with the cat-found-in-a-tree story.

I must've missed this article last week. It's worth pondering all the attention about the fouled up story over at CBS vs. how much was given to the WMD story.

Consider this: At CBS, there was an investigation, a report submitted, and people were fired as a result.

Now this: The Bush Administration made its case for the Iraq war, because Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein supposedly had a growing arsenal of weapons of mass destruction, a case ironically based on forged documents from Niger I might add. The inspections have wrapped up, and no WMDs. Result? Nobody is fired.
