What Are We Doing in Iraq?

What are we doing in Iraq? Saddam is dead, we found no weapons of mass destruction, and we know that Iraq didnâ€™t attack us â€” we need to get out.

— Steve Harrison, Democratic Candidate for Congress

We read Arthur Schwartz's New York City Food: An Opinionated History and More Than 100 Legendary Recipes Only in New York Sorting out the "truth" may seem a treacherous endeavor in such a politically polarized time. But we believe our journalists can play a greater role as an honest broker for voters bewildered by the barrage of campaign talk. So in a move rare for a news organization, we're dedicating a team of reporters and researchers to meticulously examine the rhetoric of candidates and their partisans, and then make a call: Is the claim true or not? You might think such work would be standard journalistic fare. But many news organizations can spend less money and get less grief if their political reporting sticks to stenography and puffery. It's easier to record the words and claims of competing candidates than to vet their accuracy. It's easier to write about the strategy of using negative advertising than to do the painstaking research to sort out whether the claim is actually true or false. — Neil Brown, Executive Editor of the St. Petersburg Times, announcing Politifact, a new project to determine whether candidate statements are actually true.
