Aren't they doing the same thing with IRAQ?

This is the start of a very long series that I saw on PBS the other night. It's title is "BUYING THE WAR". It's the story of how the media basically caved into to the Bush administration before the start of the IRAQ war.
This is a 17 part series about 5 minutes each. I'm sure you may know much of what is presented here but I think it ties it all together in a very understandable way. It may even give you some information that you didn't know. It did me.
THE MORE THINGS CHANGE THE MORE THEY REMAIN THE SAME
A new Newsweek poll out this weekend exposed "gaps" in America's knowledge of history and current events. Perhaps most alarmingly, 41% of Americans answered 'Yes' to the question "Do you think Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq was directly involved in planning, financing, or carrying out the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001?" That total is actually up 5 points since September 2004. Further, a majority of people couldn't identify Saudia Arabia as the country of origin of most of the 9/11 hijackers, even given the question in multiple choice format. 20% answered Iraq, while 14% believed the hijackers came from Iran.CHENEY IN 'SECURED UNDISCLOSED BUNKER OF HIS MIND'
Fox News Sunday held a round table discussion this morning regarding Dick Cheney's assertion that he is not part of the executive branch and should thus not be subject to an executive order concerning the handling of classified information by executive offices.
Host Chris Wallace wondered why the Vice President would have decided to stop complying with the executive order in 2003, since he had complied with it prior to then, and former Vice President Al Gore also complied with it.
Conservative pundit Bill Kristol replied that the measure was a "pain in the neck" for the executive staff and argued that there is no reason for archivists from the National Archives to "come investigate the security procedures of the Vice President's office."
"Maybe they have a reason because he stopped complying with the law," shot back panel member Juan Williams.
"There's no law," insisted Kristol.
"Yes. There's an executive order," said Williams. "What you have is, not only is it that there is classified documents, we don't know where they go, what happens to them, emails disappear in this White House, and you say, 'Well, what happened to the emails?' 'Oh no, we have a private account.' This is all a dodge, this is a game in order to keep Dick Cheney in, I guess, some sort of secured undisclosed bunker of his mind."
