[Announce] Comment on the bishop's Iraq statement

[Robert Waldrop]

There is a great entry at the Worcester CWer blog "Pie and Coffee" from Mike about some of the news coverage of the Bishop's Nov 13th statement on Iraq. . . 

http://www.pieandcoffee.org/2006/11/14/bishops-start-to-think-about-maybe-getting-their-act-together/

He writes: 
Perhaps inspired by The Onion's "I Think We Should Start Talking About Starting A Band", the Globe reports "Bishops call for change on Iraq policy":

  The bishops, who have consistently expressed moral concerns about the war, did not call for immediate withdrawal, saying the United States now has "moral responsibilities to help Iraqis to secure and rebuild their country." But the bishops said the "terrible toll" in Iraqi and American lives now requires a discussion driven by "moral urgency, substantive dialogue, and new directions."

There appears to be some sort of typo: the first sentence should begin: "The bishops, who have consistently and extremely quietly expressed moral concerns about the war . . . ."

End quote.

When I read that, I just burst out laughing.
