The Wall Street Journal has been sniffing around Vanderbilt University for the last several months. Tuesday they finally printed the long awaited story, including the fact that the Chancellor's wife has admitted smoking pot at the University residence. No wonder the personal chef is running up such big bills for "munchies."

The Tennessean also covered the story, and as expected mainly focused on explaining away the excessive spending of the bow-tied Chancellor. Funny, the Tennessean wasn't quite so understanding when a former UT President spent a lot less. And they were not nearly as tolerant from an editorial perspective when high flying CEOs at Enron were doing the same sort of personal spending with corporate money. CLICK HERE.

Police in Dallas report that controversial Dallas Cowboy receiver Terrell Owens was hospitalized after attempting to kill himself. If it was anybody but T.O. this sad story might evoke some sympathy around the country. Some will see it, perhaps accurately, as another grandstanding play for attention. It is a shame that this guy is so talented, and that it is all from the neck down. CLICK HERE.

T.O. says he did NOT try to kill himself. He was actually very contrite and humble during the press conference. Maybe he is actually maturing. CLICK HERE.

Don't trust what the media tells you, read it for yourself. But before you do, you need to be aware of three important points:

ONE, the estimate was completed before February of this year. That means before chief Iraq terror leader Abu Musab Al Zarqawi was killed by U.S. forces.

TWO, the report is based on a lot of speculation and "what ifs". This sort of assessment is not black and white nor is it quantifiable. 

THREE, of the four factors that the report cites as fueling the terrorist movement, none of them could be construed as an indicator that terror attacks on the West, and the U.S. in particular, would cease if the U.S. was not in Iraq. Nor is there any basis to believe that appeasement would stop the continued onslaught of this "jihad" movement.

Once you read the actual report, it becomes abundantly clear that the mainstream media selectively twisted the assesment to meet its perverse anti-Bush (even if it means being pro terrorist) propaganda agenda. CLICK HERE.

I wonder why stuff like this was left out of the NIE report? CLICK HERE.
