THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 2:
A lie isn't a lie when it tells THE TRUTH.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 3:
I've come to realize that the looseness of the journalistic life, the seeming laxity of the newsroom, is an illusion. Yes, there's informality and there's humor, but beneath the surface lies something deadly serious. It is a code. Sometimes the code is not even written down, but it is deeply believed in. And, when violated, it is enforced with tribal ferocity.
--JOHN "OMERTA" CARROLL.
THE NEWS HACK'S CREED, No. 4:
News isn't news when we don't report it.

I think what we continue to see is the fact that not all the senators had all the information I heard Senator McCain earlier and I you know have tremendous respect for Senator McCain But I think the Democratic Party ought to get over refighting how we got into the war and again continue to press the president on what he hopes to do in terms of how we will finish the job I think there are three or four things we need to focus on One how do we keep the Sunnis involved in the government How do we make sure that they don't feel excluded Two, how do we make sure that as we go through the reconstruction of Iraq that we don't continue to spend 30 cents on every dollar for security for folks like Halliburton and how do we get more Iraqis involved in the reconstruction Three how do we end up making sure that we truly keep that coalition involved Because this is an international issue not just an American issue And four I think we one of the issues that will come out of Iraq and I don't believe we have to set a arbitrary time line because not only in terms of Iraq but Afghanistan and Iran but we've got to make sure we look at this whole question of forced structure Our military is so good at kicking out the command and control of the bad guys but as we see in Iraq or in Afghanistan Somalia Bosnia what do we do afterwards in terms of restoring civil authority Listen I'm not go I don't have all the information of what would have happened at that point I think we ought to focus again how we finish the job not go back and refight how we got there in the first place....MARK WARNER'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT!
