Pundit Boxscore for Tuesday 17 June 2003

OOPS: A few weeks ago, I was very pleased to find the Working For Change website, which maintains a collection of left-leaning columnists, including Lying in Ponds pundits Molly Ivins and Robert Scheer. But they made a mistake sometime yesterday by posting a two-month old Scheer column as if it were new, identical except for a different title. It's unfortunate that they erred on that particular column -- it was the one in which Mr. Scheer wrote of the "complete, and by all accounts preventable, destruction of one of the world's most significant collections of antiquities" in Baghdad, a story which now appears to be substantially false.
