Washington Post corrects itself over Katrina

You never know if these things are indicative of a response to a concern we raised, or whether it's just a coincidence, but the blogs complained a few days ago about the Washington Post's reporting on the new Katrina video. The Post reported on the video, but failed to even mention potentially the most important part of the video, that it contradicts Bush's claim that no one could have imagined the levees breaching (in fact, Bush was briefed about this very possibility in the video, a briefing that happened BEFORE the storm hit). The Post didn't mention this, but on Friday, two days ago, they wrote a front page story on this very issue.

Whether or not the Post responded to the concerns we all raised, the point is they did the right thing, they wrote the story that needed to be written - needed to be written as dictated by the very facts of the story - and they get kudos for that.

Here's the article. It's good.
