      1. On the eve of the 20th anniversary of 9/11 and in the wake of the defeat in Afghanistan, will we get a reckoning with those in the mainstream media who cheered on disastrous wars?

      2. Never forget that the cheerleading for the War on Terror came not just from the right but centrist and ostensibly liberal publications as well: Atlantic, New Yorker, New York Times, Vanity Fair, New Republic,pic.twitter.com/rXBYG4Jl94

          reading about Ashcroft in reign of terror created the wonderful dissonance of "took a principled stand against the WH and surveillance with Comey while half-dead" as his trump era honourable mention compared to the JD's actions after 9/11, including its own dubious surveillance

          I recently had occasion to look up people's old opinions about Iraq, and found this compilation in Slate. Almost all "respectable opinion leaders" came out for it. Notably, a bunch of artists — Nicholson Baker, Spike Lee, Tony Kushner — got it right.https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2003/02/who-s-for-war-who-s-against-it-and-why.html …
