USA Today founder says Bush lied!

I was pleased to see this and hadn't seen mention of it in the past 100+ diaries, so here's an encouraging development for your holiday weekend enjoyment:

Al Neuharth is the founder of USA Today, "America's Best Selling Newspaper."  In his regular Friday column yesterday, he compared Bush to Lyndon Johnson during the Vietnam war, saying "The most important similarity between Iraq and Vietnam is that both Democratic and Republican presidents lied to us in wartime."

Hey, that's a pretty out-there use of the "L" word in a major mainstream paper!

I learned about the editorial here in The Editor and Publisher, a journal about media for journalists.
