Qu'est-ce que tout cela nous apprend ?
In the most recent example, all the president's men slimed and intimidated Newsweek by accusing it of being an accessory to 17 deaths for its errant Koran story; led by Scott McClellan [porte-parole de la Maison Blanche], they said it was unthinkable that any American guard could be disrespectful of Islam's holy book. These neo-Colsons [conseiller spécial de Nixon, condamné à de la prison ferme pour ses agissements] easily drowned out Gen. Richard Myers, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and Afghanistan's president, Hamid Karzai, both of whom said that the riots that led to the 17 deaths were unrelated to Newsweek. Then came the pièce de résistance of Nixon mimicry: a Pentagon report certifying desecrations of the Koran by American guards was released two weeks after the Newsweek imbroglio, at 7:15 p.m. on a Friday, to assure it would miss the evening newscasts and be buried in the Memorial Day weekend's little-read papers.Frank Rich, NYT 12 juin 2005
