BB-

Actually some of your contributions were editorials and some--in fact most-- were columns. There's a difference.    Columns do not necessarily reflect the views of the editorial staff--only of the particular author. And I think you know that.    But thanks for giving the names of the column authors. Hope you continue to do that.

As I pointed out elsewhere, a further complication as regards the Wall St Journal is that the reporting--often--directly contradicts the editorials. And this was the case in the editorial you cited.

The WSJ editorials can virtually always be counted on to provide the more-Bushite-than-thou stance. But the reporting actually considers many other germane facts and possible interpretations. Pardon my prejudice in stating my belief that the reporting usually makes a lot more sense.

But the editorials are good for comic relief--for calm reasoning, not so much.

I wonder why you never seem to cite the reporting.
