Told ya so?
Back on July 7th I posted a few paragraphs from TNR's story about how the Bush administration was pressuring Pakistan to deliver a High Value Target in the Terra War and it would be "best if the arrest or killing of [any] HVT were announced on twenty-six, twenty-seven, or twenty-eight July."
That has come to pass only it wasn't quite the HVT that the administration was hoping for, the HVT that might force the hand of the media and break away from coverage of John Kerry and his growing momentum. No, that HVT has been at large for about 1050 days.
Josh Marshall has started asking CNN, CBS, MSNBC, ABC, Fox, et al. when they're going to acknowledge TNR's scoop. My guess is never. Our press has been lazy ever since the Clenis stopped being a hot topic, but that doesn't mean they'll acknowledge the real investigative reporting of others.
