Just curious, are we talking about the WaPo editorial that contradicts its own reporting? [Perhaps you are referring to a second WaPo report/editorial which is outside the NYT piece, and not mentioned, and contradicts the NYT/WaPo reporting. ]
If that's not the case, I'll admit I've missed the point of suggesting the NYT told the Post to "kiss their @ss". Based solely on the link you provided, it appears the NYT is saying the opposite, quoting from the article you linked to: "We now know, from a report in The Washington Post, that a Pentagon team actually on the ground in Iraq inspecting the trailers had concluded two days earlier that they were nothing of the kind

What a great piece:
This is hardly the first time we've been told that intelligence reports contradicting administration doctrine somehow did not make it to Mr. Bush's desk.
Why change a strategy that has worked so well in the past?
Since Mr. Bush regularly denounces leakers, the White House has made much of the notion that he did not leak classified information, he declassified it. This explanation strains credulity.
Only in the reality-based community.
To declassify an intelligence document, officials have to decide whether disclosing the information would jeopardize the sources that provided it or the methods used to gather it. To answer that question, they closely study the origins of the intelligence to be disclosed. Had Mr. Bush done that, he should have seen that the most credible information made it clear that the Niger story was wrong.
Uh, dipshit....we're still waiting
for your rebuttal of the Times piece.

"And so I decided to declassify the NIE for a reason . . . I thought it was important for people to get a better sense for why I was saying what I was saying in my speeches."

I respect you opinion, but let me tell you why I think snakes are bad, bad, bad animals:
1.Snakes aren't good pets
You can't play fetch with them. You can't put them on a leash and take them for a walk. And they stick their little forked tongues out.
2.They're no good friends
Have you ever seen any other animals playing with a snake? No!
3.They give really lousy advice.

ah, DWPDA - drink it in. Drinking in - and getting drunk on - the colors of spring is tantamount tob quaffing the wine of the gods and goddesses. Enjoy!!!
I live in PDX-OR, and we "do" spring here very, very well, and I, too, am sucking up great, greedy draughts of this fine, rare vintage.

I don't like snakes, but I don't condone killing them. I know everything there is to know about snakes (know thy enemy), but I have no affection for snakes. Although I do enjoy watching the National Geographic specials about the Anaconda. Did you know that a female anaconda is the largest snake on the planet and can mate with up to six partners? Amazing!

Not to nitpick, but billmon's a little off on this:
In other words, the liberal bloggers who dragged the Goggle swamp for the evidence of Baby Ben's journalistic offenses not only cost washingtonpost.com a few brownie points with the White House, they humiliated the editors in front of all their friends. And by God, they're going to pay, dammit! Do you hear me? Pay!

Snakes make better pets than republicans.
They don't bite unless provoked.
They're very clean.
They don't smell.
They actually serve a purpose.

Snakes were associated w/ Goddess worship esp. in the Middle East, but also in Crete and Europe, as well. So you could see why the new reiigion on the block would pick a snake as the symbol of evil.

Is the Anaconda the one down in South America?
My uncle was building that big pipeline over the mountains in Peru (~1980) when some big snake rolled off a tree limb and killed one of his workers.
He killed the snake, skinned it, and brought it home. Damn thing was well over twenty feet long. And the workers claimed its larger mate got away.

lived in tucson for several years and never saw a rattler, even though we used to go walking atound the desert (heard them one time, but didn't find them). moved back to my home WNY, was walking through Letchworth park one day and a snake slithered across the path in front of us - went to get a close look, maybe pick it up to show the kiddies when it rattled. i had two thoughts in rapid succession:
1) what kind of snake scares off enemies by immitating a rattlesnake?
2) none! pull your hand away and back off slowly!
it was scary, mostly because of the kids.

Odd how the cats don't kill them, just bring them in as a prize.
Re: snakes. Most of us, unless we live somewhere like NYC (and NOT in Central Park), will encounter to occasional snake, some more than others.
If one lives in such an area, it is one's goddamned responsibility to find out what snakes are in your area and what they look like and what to do about them. That does NOT mean automatically slaughtering every snake you encounter because you are afraid of it out of ignorance. That's YOUR fault, not the snake's. We;re human, remember? We have some reasoning power, right?
Honestly, everything has a right to live as long as it does not infringe on your right to do so as well.
I don;t gratuitously kill anything. If I find spiders, wasps, yellow jackets, etc in my house, I trap and release outside. They don't mean or want to be there. Ants, cockroaches, though, they mean to intrude and to take what's mine, so we're at serious odds.
Snakes? Figure out how to repel those that are harmless and how to encourage those that are not. If you have small children and/or pets and live in an area where poisonous snakes are prevalent, do what you need to do.
But don;t be killing harmless garden snakes out of ignorance and mindless fears.
Sez me.

Right on Bro!
Guy at work told a story of finding a snake and killing it.
Told him a story of a scarey looking snake. Hognose, imatates a cobra, but harmless.
No shit! He goes home for lunch and sees one in his garage. Let's it go on it's way.

I love this story. Most critters will get along quite well, as long as they are not desperately hungry.
I have cats who come into my yard who can lie in the sun alongside of birds and squirrels, and all are perfectly content to just be.
If the cat is a natural-born killer (some are, regardless of their appetites), that doesn;t work. But most well-fed cat companions have no reason to or interest in killing other creatures is just fine w/hanging out w/them. This has been my observation.

Results 1 - 10 of about 248,000 for jury nullification [definition]. (0.33 seconds)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jury nullification is a jury's refusal to render a verdict according to the law, as instructed by the court, regardless of the weight of evidence presented. Instead, a jury bases its verdict on other grounds. Historically, examples include the perceived unjustness of the law or its application, the race of a party or accuser, or the jury’s own common sense.
Jury nullification is a de facto power of the jury, and is not ordinarily described as a right. The power of jury nullification derives from an inherent quality of most modern common law systems—a general unwillingness to inquire into jurors' motivations during or after deliberations. A jury's ability to nullify the law is further supported by two common law precedents: the prohibition on punishing jury members for their verdict, and t................http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
