SOROS AND THE LANCET ELECTION HIT PIECE (UPDATE WITH A COMMENT FROM JOHN TIRMAN)
This is the typical liberal modus operandi; a carefully timed smear job that's meant to shock people and deflect debate. The whole point is to outrage people to the point that they side with the liberal world view before the truth is uncovered.
Instead of discussing al-Qaeda tactics (which thankfully people like Michael Yon have exposed) which have resulted in scores of gruesome deaths, (including the beheading and mutilation of children), the libs pimp stories like abu-Gharib and convict Marines without a trial (Haditha), while painting the entire Armed Forces with a sadistic, murderous brush (see Murtha and Obama's comments). When the detritus is cleared and the truth emerges, sadly, very few in the press are there to reconcile the stories and set the record straight. How many papers and magazines have talked about the insurgents that were among those killed at Haditha and the conflicting rules of engagement regarding suspected insurgent hideouts that sadly played a part in the death of Iraqis there? Very few, and none of them are there when our soldiers are greeted warmly and Iraqis come forward with intelligence that results in al-Qaeda deaths. Only when the news is unavoidable and big - like the death of Zarqawi - do the papers grudgingly do the obligatory 'a bad guy is dead' piece.
How about something simple like lying under oath or misleading prosecutors? Scooter Libby was convicted, yet Valerie Plame - despite documents that show she lied and *did* recommend her husband for the Niger job and wasn't under secret cover - is a celebrated darling of the left, her lies to Congress excused, no conviction in sight. (Ken Timmerman's book "Shadow Warriors" is a great expose of numerous incidents like this).
The right has to get better at getting the truth out and stop letting the left define the game and news.
