Michael Ware, of Time Magazine is about to get Swift boated
Michael Ware, who is Baghdad bureau chief for Time Magazine, has been on TV almost non stop reporting 100% opposite of what the President and his cabal has been saying since the speech Bush made. A friend of mine works at a high end repuke think tank with strong links to the white house. The "war room" is looking at this guy as enemy # 1 since yesterday as he seem to have become the spokesman for the journalists on the ground in Iraq.

They are currently looking for any dirt they can dig up on this guy to try an undermine his reporting. So I fully expect a full swift boat attack soon.

As far as his reports from Iraqi? From the White House standpoint they have to be devastating attacks. Ware pulls no punches and puts no spin on anything. Hes an awesome reporter, so once the swift boating starts we have to answer right back!

1. I think he may get worse then swift-boated. I'm afraid he will get killed
"accidentally" in Iraq.

6. Hopefully that doesn't happen
But remember when the reporters got bombed? And the memo's to bomb Al-Jazeera?

4. How about Lara Logan also?
I noted that she was quizzed on CBS about Rumsfeld's lies and said 3-4 times that things he said were not correct, about no US troops on the airport road etc. I'd like to see her get safely out of there before something bad happens.

5. Just a little bump.
So. Who organizes this for the Dems? The DNC? Does someone send out a mass e-mailing calling for an anti swift boating attack?

And how does this get on Olbermann's and TDS's radar? Would Jack Cafferty read an e-mail about this?

Oh, the possibilities. I can see Jack Murtha, saying something like "I wouldn't be surprised if the administration didn't go after reporters who dare to tell the truth." on Hardball.
