Whether you support President Bush or you oppose him, what follows is an example of how journalists have not changed.

"It appears we have appointed our worst generals to command forces, and our most gifted and brilliant ones to edit newspapers! In fact, I discovered by reading newspapers that these editor/geniuses plainly saw all my strategic defects from the start, yet failed to inform me until it was too late. Accordingly , I am readily willing to yield my command to these obviously superior intellects, and I'll, in turn, do my best for the Cause by writing editorials ~ after the fact."

Sound familiar? Could be George Bush, Donald Rumsfeld, or any of our various generals since the beginning of the current operations in Iraq or Afghanistan. No; it was a statement made in 1863 by Robert E. Lee.
