WaPo characterization of Iraq buildup

I find this very interesting. It's page W12, so it's not on the front of the paper, but it's top left of the front page of the website right now. A big picture with Rumsfeld small on the right side of the frame, a title "Wrestling with History", and then this quote, "Sometimes you have to fight the war you have, not the war you wish you had. – David Von Drehle" That's it.

And it is a slam piece on Rumsfeld. It's big, but if you read the first page, you'll get the idea.

Obviously, with last night/today's piece questioning the President's speech and the veracity of the attacks on the Democratic criticism, and now this article, the WaPo has decided that they are not going to accept the administration's version of events without examinination.

Reading it again, I do mean a slam piece. I would expect that somebody on the WaPo editorial staff will be getting a call about this one.

UPDATE: I guess that call came in, because this story, which appeared last night, was dated for today's paper, and was placed so prominently, has now completely disappeared from the front page. It has now been bumped down to a smaller picture, a friendlier headline, and a less prominent position on the "Politics" page.

Oh, you gotta read it now.
