9/11

David Frum gets the Bill Maher treatment

02/02/2008 by backofthebook.ca

By Frank Moher Maybe it’s because his guy, Giuliani, was already tanking when this was filmed.

Big media stands down

12/30/2007 by backofthebook.ca

Facts, and other dispensable truths

03/19/2007 by backofthebook.ca

By Frank Moher So, this one should have been easy. At a star chamber-style military trial, the Pentagon releases the transcript of testimony by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, purported Al-Qaeda mastermind, in which he admits to a laundry list of atrocities and would-be atrocities. Not only was he responsible for the 9/11 attacks, it says, but […]
