Politicians love blaming violence on the media, but today Wolfowitz gives it a new twist:

In an interview with Fox News, Mr Wolfowitz accused al-Jazeera of slanting the news” in favour of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein and claimed that the channel’s very biased reporting” had the effect of inciting violence against our troops” in Iraq.

Makes you wonder what Iraqi’s think about Fox News? As much as I hate Fox News, I’m not blaming them for the war in Iraq. Television doesn’t kill people — politicians do.
