Others will twist the facts to their selfish ends unless you verify those facts for yourself. Case in point: Here's the article from the Post, and note the correction at the top: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/03/AR2005090301680.html Also note that the mis-information about Blanco not yet declaring a SoE came from a "senior Bush official". Either the administration lied or the Post lied. Either way, it casts doubt on the validity of the rest of the article. We've all been told not to jump to conclusions. But we should also be warned not to jump to someone -else's- conclusions....... that's how we got into this war in Iraq! ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- _______________________________________________ Libnw mailing list Libnw@immosys.com List info and subscriber options: http://immosys.com/mailman/listinfo/libnw Archives: http://immosys.com/mailman//pipermail/libnw
