The Washington Post on (the lack of) WMDs
Though not apologizing to their readers, the WaPo's Howard Kurtz says their paper could have done more to promote their questions about the march to war. Too often, stories questioning the validity of WMD claims were buried deep in the A section whille Adminstration assertions got top billing, above the fold.
This isn't the major mea culpa that the NY Times delivered a couple of months back but, for people who are critical of the media and their un-questioning practices, it's a start.
