4. Nice headline, but anything by this piece of shit "reporter" should come with a big disclaimer.
Most people appear to have forgotten that Jeffrey Goldberg was just as instrumental in pushing the lies justifying war against Iraq as Judith Miller.

I remember being shaken when reading these articles about Iraq's "massive WMD capabilities":

Turns out, they were all bullshit, as Goldberg relied on sources that nearly every other reporter deemed too uncredible to even bother talking to.

For whatever reason, while Judith Miller was rightfully castigated, Jeffrey Goldberg has managed to land job after job at respected media institutions. He is presently engaged in a campaign of pushing for attacks against Iran.
