Will US Media pick up on Wilson's new revelations about the Bush lies?
USNEWS is saying that "Wilson adds ammo to hit war credibility gap" - but US broadcast and most US print media are treating this like Arnolds yesterday gropping of women.

Seems analyst Sam Gardiner suggests the White House and Pentagon made up or distorted over "50 war stories -.... like the Pvt. Jessica Lynch story, -like how defense officials said the first Iraqi unit marines encountered, the 51st Mechanized Infantry Division, had surrendered four days before it actually did - with ....Rumsfeld and Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Richard Myers giving bad or deliberately incomplete info on several topics. Sure, propaganda has always been used in war to deceive and demoralize the enemy. But these guys went way overboard, Gardiner says. "Never before have so many stories been created to sell a war," he insists. "And they probably didn't need it"

1. Somehow
I doubt Joe Wilson is going to let this die. There are probably a lot of people behind him, such as Larry Johnson and people like him.
