Haunted by Iraq
This complaint by the White House against NBC contains an interesting sub-plot: the sore question of whether the Iraq conflict is a civil war or not. Remember all the fanfare over NBC's decision that it was?
I must say, I thought at the time that it showed the rather self-regarding pomposity of some of my US colleages - now it comes back to haunt the station with the perfectly reasonable question: "Why didn't you give as much publicity to the end of the civil war (in your terms) as the beginning?"
Who would Jesus vote for? No doubts here.
Barack Obama's defence of his wife contained a barely coded warning, I thought - go for Michelle and Cindy McCain becomes fair game. Is that what you want?
Meanwhile, the FT has a fascinating and important piece on energy - proof to me that the US is capable of grappling with its problems and making the changes necessary.
