Tell Reuters to stand by its story
Reuters has reported that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki requested that the U.D. provide a timline for troop withdrawal. In response, the White House released a statement on Maliki's reported request, questioning whether the media made a transcription error. President Bush would rather dodge responsibility by claiming that Reuters made an error in its reporting than stick to his promise to leave Iraq when requested by the Iraqi government. Reuters cannot let Bush make such absurd allegations without standing up for the truth; to stay silent on this issue would be contributing to the Bush administration's fantasy of staying in Iraq for as long as they please. Ask Reuters
to clear its name by emailing Sophie Brendel, Reuters' Head of Public
Relations, requesting she release a statement that Reuters stands by
its story.
