Today's Op Ed column by Charles Krauthammer in the Albuquerque Journal is an attack on the movie "Syriana", which purports to trace the sad complexities of oil - the international oil business and the politics thereof.
Seems it's liberal and distorts history and current affairs, according to Krauthammer.
Not long ago, a Hoover Institute historian whose name escapes me, also a Journal syndicated columnist, also clobbered "Syriana."
And neither expert mentioned Iran, 1951. That's when Mohammed Mossadegh nationalized Iran’s oil industry. Dangerous move - British intelligence and the CIA promptly orchestrated his overthrow.
OK, that omission doesn’t prove either the historian and Krauthammer dishonest, but forgetting Mossadegh cannot be easy.
Unless, of course, the columnist is a partisan. Can partisanship and honesty co-exist?
