Reader M.E. points out:

Just for the sake of argument let’s say the Newsweek article was true. No one’s pointing out that Newsweek is the same publication that had a non-disclosure agreement with the Kerry campaign last fall. The editors agreed that anything their reporters discovered while “embedded” with Kerry/Edwards would not be published until after the ’04 election.

So let me get this straight…

Agreeing not to air Kerry’s dirty laundry during a political campaign is fine and dandy. But not airing Gitmo’s dirty laundry during the War on Terror would be a compromise of journalistic ethics.

Got it.

I had forgotten about that cozy arrangement between Kerry and Newsweek. Thanks for the reminder.
