Lack of precision in expression leads to lack of understanding and clear thinking. I'll suggest the journalist was delibarately vague, in his effort to find a controversial presentation for the story he was working on. That is both disingenuous and unprofessional, but is what I have come to expect from the media regardless of their bias.That is true. In the before we mainly saw very positive news about the Iraq war and about the reasons to go there. Now, when Bush is already taking a beating, the media dares finally again to be critical. We needed them earlier I would say.
