Axis Moste Evile

The New York Times printed, unopposed, accusations against Iran that it was inciting and organizing attacks in Iraq. The only source for this is Zalmay Khalilzad, the U.S. Ambassador to Iraq. After the Times reported his accusations, they had this to add in the sixth paragraph:

But he acknowledged that there was no proof that Iran was directing any particular operations by militias here.

I know my readership of one, maybe two people isn't much, but the more publicity attempts to further demonize -- falsely -- Iran get, the better. Iran has its definate faults, but there's no need to add false ones to the list, it just serves to further degrade American integrity later on. There's no need for the mainstream media to continue parroting administration propaganda, you would have thought they would have learned their lesson in the first five years of the Bush Administration.

Remember, Republican talking points never die; they just become political headlines.
