Just before I left for Vermont I noted in a post that the New York Times had failed to even mention Ron Suskind’s book, The Way of the World, or his charges that, among other things, the Bush-Cheneyites ordered the CIA to forge documents implicating Iraq in the events of 9/11.
While perusing the Times this morning I noted that the book was not reviewed this week, so I did another search, this time at the paper’s website, since the Times Reader only goes back one week. Here’s the result, which shows that the paper hasn’t mentioned Suskind since 2006.
I repeat, it is weird that the “paper of record” does not see fit to mention Suskind’s allegations. He is a Pulitzer Prize winner and a respected reporter. His reporting has proven true in the past. This is strange. Of course, the entire issue has now been consigned to the memory hole across the board. Alas, it appears that whoever wins in November, our response to our national shame, rather than exposing it to the light of day, will be to ignore it and let it fester.
