Here UNSCAM has rumbled on for months, so when PINCH and the HOWELL SURROGATES finally report on it, who do they J'ACCUSE? AMERICANS.

And in the fourth graf, THE PAPER OF RECORD clears its throat with an implied set of parentheses:

((((The fact that these companies and individuals received oil from Iraq does not mean they did anything illegal, experts on the program said. Such allocations may have been proper if the individuals and companies received appropriate United Nations approval.)))) (Parentheses added.)

As the public gets angrier and angrier with NEWS HACKS, the NEWS HACKS grow more INTRANSIGENT. I wonder: how would they spin the WORD OF GOD? (Not that they'd need to -- news hacks ARE GODS.)

P. S.

Sanctions worked. Weapons inspectors worked. That is the bottom line of the long-awaited report on weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, written by President Bush's handpicked investigator.

I GUESS THEY DIDN'T WORK THAT WELL. PINCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P. P. S. Here's why NEWS HACKS win: the Duelfer report takes a LONG TIME to download, and who wants to spend a long time DOWNLOADING? Let the HACKS read it for you. Let the hacks PARSE IT and SPIN IT and DISTORT IT. How do we get beyond NEWS HACKS with reports as voluminous as this? Nevertheless, here are three hard-won LINKS -- and AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY for the lazy (like me).
