Bork in Iraq

Maliki's government is "quietly dismissing" anti-corruption officials. I think the main reason the dismissal can be called quiet is because papers other than the Times are ignoring the story.

Well, I shouldn't be so hard on the media. In April, I commented on Condi Rice's reply to Henry Waxman's question whether she was aware of Maliki stonewalling anti-corruption investigations.

When Nixon did the same thing, it was big news, the label 'Saturday Night Massacre' is well known. Dragging this news out know might spoil Bush's going away party, I suppose.
