MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell, their senior international correspondent (or something to that effect) was just reporting on the US search for Iraq's WMD program. To paraphrase what she just "reported", she said that the US efforts would have more credibility if non-Coalition experts were allowed to test for the presence of WMD. She then said that the US wanted no part for its critics in Europe and elsewhere.
LIE!
The implication in her statement, which is well crafted to not explicitly say it, is that the US will exclude foreign experts from testing any possible WMD samples found. However:
"Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has stressed that any substances or weapons found to be containing banned agents will be tested not only by U.S. weapons experts, but by others across the globe to be sure of the results." From story regarding one of recent WMD site exploitations.
No, there's no media bias...
