Reporting on the Vietnam war

Sent: Thursday, July 15, 2004 4:10 PM Ranndy Black writes: "Mr. Kreiger’s citation of the report “the costs of the Iraq War” from the Institute for Policy Studies brings up the obvious question. Why is he citing a report that is obviously slanted to one view only, and why is he citing a report that clearly has more factual errors than the Moore film? I also note that while the IPS’s own site claims to be non-partisan, from reading the ISP home page, it clearly is anti-Bush Administration regarding virtually every story posted, going so far as to offer “talking points” for those preparing to attack the current administration. I was happy to see that a woman whom I voted for in a Texas governor’s race in 1972 is on the ISP Board of Directors. (She lost). Texas just wasn’t ready for its second woman governor then, but we were a few years later when we got Ann Richards. A side note on Francis Ferenthold, known then as Sissy, was that the South Texas Democrat was against Mexicans being involved in the Democratic process in Texas. Without their support, even in the 1972, her run for Governor was doomed".
