For anyone with the slightest interest in the race for president.

You do know that Drudge was incredibly dishonest in his reporting, don't you?

Quote:Drudge is using the ellipse as a weapon, with malice aforethought.
Clark's statement that \"Saddam Hussein is a threat\" came from his opening remarks to the committee. An ellipse then carries the reader more than 11,500 words later into the transcript to a second quotation. Finally, Drudge uses the next ellipse to jump way back to the beginning of Clark's testimony. The effect is to make Clark's testimony sound more frantic than it really is and to incorrectly suggest that Clark had endorsed the war.

You can find Clark's entire testimony here. If you read it, the difference between what he said and what Drudge says he said is petty clear.
