I read the whole article. It had some good points in its criticisms of
the Franco-Belgo-German moves. However, Andrew diminished  my ability
to accept his overall thesis when he:

1. Described Colin Powell's presentation as a "devastating expose of
Iraq's concealment and deception campaign". I followed Colin's
presentation live and was disappointed. I would never have referred to
it as a "devastating expose". Even if I were Andrew, I would have
refrained from doing so. It made him appear to be other than
even-handed.

2. He also applied the inflammatory phrases "despicable", "disgraceful"
and "blackmail" to the actions of the Franco-Belgo-German group.

I got the impression that he decided to be the judge, jury and
executioner, rather than the reporter.

What were your feelings about the article?
