The Perle interview was awful.

It would be one thing if the "reporters," led into him with something like, "Richard Perle was instrumental in leading the country to war through his work with PNAC and close associations with Ahmed Chalabi," but instead there is just the usual drivel that he is a commentator on Rumsfeld's situation.

:grr:

And then asked a few questions such as, "You state that the insurgency could not have been anticipated by Rumsfeld, but doesn't this sort of thing ALWAYS happen when a colonial power attempts to conquer a nation on the cheap?"

And then it would have been nice to hear a closing statement such as, "Richard Perle is presently avoiding war criminal charges thanks to his political connections in the * administration, and the fat paycheck from AEI helps too."

I started to write an angry letter to NPR, but then grew too depressed to finish/send it. I will, however, remember this propaganda-as-news nonsense when the next fundraising drive comes around...

There's nothing public about them asking me for money so that they can peddle lies...
