Some more support for my point below — driving home today I heard Kennedy’s remarks compressed down to “Iraq is George Bush’s Vietnam,” by none other than NPR. Not a word about the whole deception context; just that one line.
So either NPR is being way out of line, recklessly quoting someone in ways that’s way beyond the bounds of journalistic ethics — or, if what it’s doing is understandably par for the course, given the inherent limits of people’s time and reporters’ memories, then one would think that old pro Kennedy would have expected precisely that, no?
