One thing I WILL give Fox News (and I'll even omit the [sic] this time) credit for is that when their news stories cite a politician's speech or letter or some other document, they often provide a link to the verbatim text of the work in question.
Given my skepticism of media paraphrasing and the infamous ... in reporting, I find this a very valuable tool.
Anyway, I was pleased to hear of the resignation of Attorney General John Ashcroft.
I was also intrigued by a comment in his letter of resignation which stated: The objective of securing the safety of Americans from crime and terror has been achieved.
Yay, terrorism is defeated!
Though perhaps the credibility of that statement was undermined by the laughable one that immediately followed: The rule of law has been strengthened and upheld in the courts.
