MOLLY IVINS: SO THIS IS RESTORING HONOR AND INTEGRITY?


As I.F. Stone used to say, "All governments lie," so that's no shockeroo. What's peculiar is the reaction in the media.

You may recall that when even the administration finally admitted Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, we were treated to the following rationales:

1) Didn't make any difference, because Saddam was a really, really bad guy anyway.

He was, of course, and it was always the only decent rationale for getting rid of him. It was the argument made by British Prime Minister Tony Blair but specifically rejected by the Bush administration. Paul Wolfowitz, deputy defense secretary, explained in Vanity Fair that human rights violations were not a sufficient consideration for invasion.

2) It was all Saddam's fault that we thought he had WMDs. The wily coot fooled us by repeatedly denying that he had any -- a fiendishly clever ploy.

I'm as open source as the next cat about these things, but the board rules mandate that you can only use four paragraphs and then link. That's the law around here, and for good reason: the site is liable for copyright violations.
