- dragonwriter 5y ago> Judith Miller was working with Bush Admin officials to push false information to justify war? Maybe, but that's not what I said (the only group I said anything about her cooperating with non-overtly is the I.N.C.) She was definitely manufacturing and laundering pro-war propaganda, and she was fired when that became clear. And it certainly served the Bush Administration’s purposes. And the I.N.C. certainly was working hand-in-hand with the Administration on some things. But was Miller working with the Administration, or just on her own agenda that happened to align with theirs? Not for me to say.
- fortuna86 5y agoWell that matters a lot. It's the difference between a conspiracy and messing up.
- kevin_thibedeau 5y agoThe Bush admin only talked to journalists who would play their game. That was the lesson when he shunned all the majors until they agreed to toe the line.
