This is news?
Written by Willy Ritch | Filed Under Uncategorized |
The revelation by Larry Wilkerson, Colin Powell’s former Chief of Staff, that in 2003 Iran offered much of what the US is now demanding but was turned down by Vice President Cheney has become a hot news story. What’s amazing to me is not that Cheney and the neocons would put their own, twisted vision of a New World Order above the interests of peace and diplomacy–I’m not that naive–but that this is a news story now.
[photopress:wilkerson.jpg,full,pp_image] Wilkerson was talking about this nearly a year ago–in March of 2006–and it was being reported. Granted, there weren’t a lot of people on the story then, but it was out there. The Inter Press Service reported on his comments, for example. And I even stumbled upon the story in the course of doing my radio show (previous life.)
I had a chance to have a long chat with Wilkerson about Powell, the Bush Administration and his professional life last fall. You can listen to the whole interview here (it’s about twenty minutes long) or if you want to get right to a money quote, listen to his assessment of the Bush Administration’s handling of national security issues (hint: no gold stars are involved.)
Update: I just got an email from Wilkerson and he said he thinks the reason the story may have taken this time around is the spin the journalist who reported for the BBC put on it, making it seem like Iran was a little closer to an agreement than they really were. But, he also didn’t understand why it’s news now: “I agree with you and was somewhat perplexed myself that there is so much interest when the story is quite old.”
