He's A Pathological Liar, Too

The United States-led coalition in the War against Iraq includes at least one N.G.O., namely, the Faux News Channel:

It was Fox, however, that best illustrated another danger: when professional journalists leave a war zone, rumors can flow unchecked. On Tuesday, Oliver L. North, who was in Kuwait with the First Marine Expeditionary Force, told Fox News over a videophone that he had heard "rumors" that French Embassy officials in Baghdad were helping to destroy evidence of French cooperation with Saddam Hussein's stockpiling of chemical and biological weapons.

"That is more than inaccurate or untrue," said Nathalie Loiseau, the spokeswoman for the French Embassy in Washington. "It is insulting." Ms. Loiseau said the entire French delegation left Baghdad on Tuesday morning.

Irena Steffen, a Fox News spokeswoman, said: "Oliver North is a military contributor to Fox. He is neither a reporter nor a correspondent."

Maybe they'll have him pick off Wolf Blitzer and Nic Robertson with a sniper rifle while he's over there.
