LAT's war funding surprise

In a front page piece in today's LAT, reporter Noam Levey, usually pro-Democrat and anti-Bush, produced a reasonably unbiased report on the passage by Congress yesterday of the war funding bill. That is a welcomed surprise. Sadly, that story did not take top billing, which went to a story by reporter Peter Spiegel about how President Bush reportedly is ready to adopt the recommendations of the Baker-Hamilton Iraq Study Group, likely mere speculation.
