  "Buying the War"

The failure of much of the American press to uncover — and provide
some prominence to — the private doubts and even the public case
against the war was, in my view, its most egregious failure in my 50
years in journalism. The press has done much better in recent years,
since the war began in March 2003, unraveling many of the false
pretenses that sent the U.S. to war and many other stories that the Bush
administration didn't want told. But it was before the war when the
chips were really down, and it is usually only when a president is
noticeably weakened that the press gets noticeably bolder. So this
story, though not exactly new, needs to remain fresh in people's minds
if the press is to do better when it is most needed.
