By Paul Bedard, Washington Whispers

After we published this Whisper, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's aide Keith Urbahn, who slapped the NYT story in our original item, came out punching again. He told us: "Since the New York Times got a Pulitzer for its discredited reporting, perhaps the administration deserves Olympic gold for its latest backflip. Typical for the Obama administration, this is a 'change' we can't believe in."

The Generals got corporate contracts, bonuses and TV fame for misleading us into a bloody disasterous war.

What is Paul Bedard getting in return for ignoring the NYT rebuttal to Rumsfeld and his treasonous aides?

Hint: ask for more $ than Armstrong Williams got, that was embarrassing.

Why don't you call out Urbahn on his continual use of a report that was withdrawn for inaccuracies? Giving his a platform with out fact checking is why many of us distrust mainstream media.
