Bill Keller: 'Figuring Out What The Geniuses In Washington Propose To Do About The War'

Was that a hint of sarcasm we heard coming from the mouth of the New York Times executive editor when referring to the Bush administration? On the Media’s Brooke Gladstone has Bill Keller examining the things he and his crew have to handle in Iraq:

“In the constellation of things that we have to do that deal with Iraq, including, you know, keeping a large number of correspondents safe and making sure that the story gets well covered and figuring out what the geniuses in Washington propose to do about the war, the discussion of whether or not we use the words “civil war” or not to describe it, you know, don’t rank high on the list of priorities.”

You can hear Keller’s sarcasm about 5 minutes in.
