Step One: Admit You Have A Problem...

Bravo to The New York Times for at least admitting they were misled by Ahmed Chalabi and falsely reported his inflated anti-Saddam claims as facts:

"It looks as if we, along with the administration, were taken in... And until now we have not reported that to our readers."

The apology itself provides a great example for other media outlets who got it all wrong, but now it's time for some acceptance of responsibility. Who is going to be sacked? Judith Miller was responsible for 4 of the 6 articles mentioned in the Mea Culp. She and the editors of these pieces should resign or be sacked.
