Helen Thomas blasts Iraq war as 'immoral'

[CatWoman]

Declaring President Bush has done more to break down the so-called separation of church and state than any other chief executive, veteran White House correspondent Helen Thomas told a large audience at the University of North Carolina that the war with Iraq is a "mindless invasion … without provocation."

Speaking to hundreds at UNC Monday night, Thomas wondered aloud, "Where's the national outrage?" reports the Durham Herald-Sun.

"Who is demanding to know why we invaded Iraq – a country that did absolutely nothing to us?" she asked.

Thomas has covered the White House for over 40 years. She described the first president she covered, John F. Kennedy, as inspired and eloquent. Such words did not come up, however, as she talked about Bush.

6. Question

Is she still with the WH press corp? I haven't seen or heard from
her in a long time - perhaps I haven't been paying as much attention.
I remember when the Bushies were on the bash the French campaign,
she sat in the front row and confronted Ari wearing a French beret.
It was wonderful.
