Liberal Media? What Liberal Media?

It is interesting how the Newspaper of Record, The New York Times and other media outlets who are often accused [by the right wingies] to be of Liberal persuasion have mostly decided not to pay attention to the British Memo clearly evidencing the Bush Administrations decision to shape intelligence in a fashion that would support their decision to go to war in Iraq.

"A leaked document that appeared in a British newspaper offered clear new evidence that U.S. intelligence was shaped to support the drive for war. Though the information rocked British Prime Minister Tony Blair's re-election campaign when it was revealed, it has received little attention in the U.S. press.

The document, first revealed by the London Times (5/1/05), was the minutes of a July 23, 2002 meeting in Blair's office with the prime minister's close advisors. The meeting was held to discuss Bush administration policy on Iraq, and the likelihood that Britain would support a U.S. invasion of Iraq. "It seemed clear that Bush had made up his mind to take military action, even if the timing was not yet decided," the minutes state.

The minutes also recount a visit to Washington by Richard Dearlove, the head of the British intelligence service MI6: "There was a perceptible shift in attitude. Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.""

So now where is this famed Liberal Media to take advantage of this revelation and to drive a good blow into the heart of the terrorists now occupying the White House?
