In crediting Rep. Wolf with ISG's creation, NBC ignored differences between his findings and ISG report
December 07, 2006 6:32 pm ET
SUMMARY: NBC's Brian Williams said
that Rep. Frank Wolf "came up with the idea for the Iraq Study Group
after ... returning from his third trip to Iraq after having seen how much the
situation there had deteriorated and how violent Iraq had become." In
fact, a September 2005 op-ed by Wolf written after that trip stressed that
"real progress is being made [in Iraq]" and claimed the media were
not giving sufficient attention to it -- a very different picture from the dire
conditions described in the ISG's final report.
