Up til then I hadn&#8217;t taken the idea of a Saddam/Al Qaeda link very seriously, but afterward, I felt I had to reevaluate that position. I took the piece at face value &#8211; it seemed so authoritative and so full of inside knowledge.</p> <p>Yes, journalists and pundits simply must have their track records advertised, and their failures criticized. If you present yourself as an expert that people should take seriously when they form their own opinions, then it is only right that they take your past performance.</p> http://www.washingtonindependent.com/view/fast-an-loose-with#content_17536 http://www.washingtonindependent.com/view/fast-an-loose-with#content_17536 Mon, 24 Mar 2008 06:12:38 GMT Dave Stallard
