Consortiumnews.com: "To some extent, the news media's reluctance to solve the Mystery of Bush's Iraq War Lies may be explained by a well-founded fear of retaliation from Bush's powerful defense apparatus - from the Wall Street Journal's editorial page to the screamers on Fox News and right-wing talk radio.
But there may be another motive, a fear of the logical consequence that would follow a conclusion that Bush willfully deceived the American people into a disastrous war that has killed almost 1,700 American soldiers and tens of thousands of Iraqis.
If that conclusion were to be accepted as true, it would force mainstream editors into a tough decision about whether they should join the supposedly fringe position advocating Bush's impeachment.
Certainly, the ignominy of impeachment would stand out as a logical remedy for a leader who so grievously violated the public trust and sent so many American soldiers to unnecessary deaths."
