Colbert Rings the Bell

My favorite quote so far on the "backlash to the backlash" to the prison scandal, from The Daily Show's Stephen Colbert and cited in this provocative piece:

"The journalists I know love America, but now all anybody wants to talk about is the bad journalists--the journalists that hurt America.... Who didn't uncover the flaws in our prewar intelligence? Who gave a free pass on the Saddam-Al Qaeda connection? Who dropped Afghanistan from the headlines at the first whiff of this Iraqi snipe hunt? The United States press corps, that's who."
