Be careful, Tony
[Read the article: Snow: "Not going to close the door on a pardon"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]You don't want to bite your tongue trying to talk out of both sides of your mouth.

If you can't say something nice...
[Read the article: When Republicans attack]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What's next from these juvenile bozos, sticking their tongues out and running around the playground going "nyah, nyah, nyah"?
If the Republicans had put even half the effort into this disastrous war as they do launching ad hominem attacks against Democrats, this war would have been over in April 2003.

The price of repetition
[Read the article: Whose war is it, anyway?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Unfortunately, Bush, Rove, et al., know the basic maxim of politics: A person is smart; people are stupid. In other words, their penchant for repitition will serve them well. So, I doubt it will be a big surprise that within a few months, polls will start showing a large segment of the American people believing that "Al Qaeda" and "Al Qaeda in Iraq" are the same thing (even though they really aren't). The problem here, of course, is that more people hear the right-wing babble machine then actually take the time to read Richard Engel (or books on middle eastern history or even Salon for that matter). Alas, I fear much of this type of reporting will only be voices crying out in the wilderness.

Why let the facts get in the way.
[Read the article: Yes, but will Michael Gerson take the credit?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]So much for this being an objective report based on the facts on the ground, unless the ground happens to be the rug in the oval office: "Optimistic Guy Comes to Work."
I hope the writer knows how to spell "credible."

Fact Checking?
[Read the article: CNN's John King responds]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Perhaps before Mr. King critiques you for your lack of "fact checking" he should use "spell check" on his own emails. Or perhaps even proofread them before he sends them out. Oops. How dare I critique a Journalist in this country.
