Default ( OT ) U.S. Rep. Christopher Cox says he was misquoted; Salon'sMichelle Goldberg responds.

http://www.salon.com/opinion/letters...cox/print.html

extract

In his letter, Rep. Cox acknowledges that in his speech he said, "We
continue to discover biological and chemical weapons and facilities to
make them inside Iraq," so it's absurd for him to accuse me of
misquoting him. His attempt to defend this remark suggests how unwise it
is to rely on Fox News for accurate information about our world. In
fact, I find it terrifying that someone with as much power as Cox takes
Fox seriously -- it's like the Politburo making policy based on Pravda.

If one cannot address the issue at hand then change the subject to a
personal attack of Fox News as Michelle Goldberg did. yawn

Perhaps if you were to actually *READ* the article, you would find a
transcript of both statements.

BTW -- further off topic question -- are you related to John H, or are
you one and the same person?

doubt it as you would understand my comment if you did.

Both our first names begin with the letter "J". Both our last names begin
with the letter "H". . I guess in your world that makes us related....eh?

GOTCHA -- Unless you are a subscriber (and I doubt very much you are)
you need to watch an add to access Salon.
