Farsi farce

PBS did its usual partisan job the other night with a documentary explaining how the Bush Administration ignored signals from the well-meaning "moderates" who used to run Iran that they wanted to patch things up between our countries. Supposedly this effort had the blessing of the clerics, even. The underlying assumption, of course, was that the self-serving memories of Iranian jihadists are inherently more reliable than the publicly taken positions and publicly explained policies of an American president whom PBS doesn't happen to like.

Par for the course.
