Amir Taheri Serial Fabulist

By Cernig

Taheri has been exposed as am unprincipled hack. Again. But this time, by the Bush administration.

You'd think if a responsible journalist was going to attack Obama for saying stuff at a meeting that supposedly secretly undermined the Bush administration, the fact that the meeting was also attended by Bush administration officials such as U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Ryan Crocker and the Baghdad embassy’s Legislative Affairs advisor Rich Haughton, as well as a Republican senator, Chuck Hagel of Nebraska, might have killed such a story stone dead. Not for Taheri, he just left that bit out.

Could we make the guy wear a badge or something so everyone would be warned that he's a liar, without it being too crass?

And as for all the neocon outlets that fall in line to repeat his swill every single time, even though they've been burned so many times before, "here's your sign".
