Re: IRAQ: Reportng on Bremer's departure speech

General Michael Sullivan wrote: "The Los Angeles Times, along with other major news sources (BBC, New York Times, Washington Post), have not been reporting fair and balanced news but have emphasized their ersonal agenda".  He cited the failure to report Paul Bremer's departure speech. From the UK, John Heelan asks: ªIs that the same Paul Bremer who failed to govern Iraq: whp left Iraq on the brink of civil war: who ensured by edict that his US commercial buddies had major contracts that could not be broken by  Iraqi puppets: who ensured by edict that his military buddies could remain outside Iraqi law: who handed over the baton of command in a quasi-secret ceremony to ex-CIA buddies and then scuttled ignominiously and unsung out of the country? If so, - who cares what he said?"
RH: This is John Heelan speaking, not WAIS.
