behind for days ahead of time. and side by side with dana priest, who is, whatever you may think of her, is a veteran correspondent washington. she is a reporter. in the standard conventional sense of that word. bill arkin has never been that he came out of human rights watch, green peace, the institute for policy studies, all left wing organizations. he has been a defense intellectual of the left for many, many years. he has written the post said he had been a reporter and columnist for them. he may have written columns for them. to my knowledge, he has never been a reporter for the the washington post or any other newspaper. and among the things he said, for example, this was when we were about in the onset of the war in iraq. quote, and i can t help but feel cynical about the fact that we are going to war to enhance the economic interest of the enron class. that s pretty strong medicine for someone who is to later be treated by the the washington post as a, quote, reporter.
