Excellent Frank Rich Column from NYT

Mr. Rich talks about some of the parallels between the early stages of the US involvement in Vietnam and our current conflict, while lambasting both Republicans and Democrats for not offering a valid alternative to Bush's hapless policy-making on the matter. Exceptions include Republican Chuck Hagel and Democrat Russ Feingold.

I also watched part of "CNN Presents" last night when I got home from work. It actually had some decent examples of good journalism - some analysis of just how we got suckered by the "intelligence" that led us into war and allowed Bush to cite dubious information about the (non-existent) Iraqi WMD program.
