What Bias?

John over at Powerline calls this AP post by Toni Locy the Dumbest News Story Ever. He says of the reporters involved:

"...either AP reporters are too lazy to spend 30 seconds on Google to educate themselves as to what happened during the ancient history of 2003, or they write articles that are deliberately misleading."

Ancient history it may be, but I'm sure that most of you will recognize this as another sign of the AP's laziness or desire to rewrite history:

Wilson's revelations cast doubt on President Bush's claim in his 2003 State of the Union address that Niger had sold uranium to Iraq to develop a nuclear weapon as one of the administration's key justifications for going to war in Iraq.

Now I'm never going to be more than an amateur historian, but even I can remember that Bush didn't make that claim.
