Whore Street Journal sends Iraq correspondent on vacation until after election
Reporter who told the truth about the situation there sent packing by WSJ cheekspreaders for the WH.

Quaoar at DemoUnderground reports: This is the reporter who sent a private email to friends telling them how truly horrible it is to be in Baghdad, and the email got into circulation and was posted everywhere.

Splashing this sort of stuff around the Internet is bound to cause talk, and a good bit of it occurred in the Journal's newsroom.

Wednesday, two of the paper's staff members - both of whom asked not to be identified - said they had been told that Fassihi would not be allowed to write about Iraq for the paper until after the election, presumably because unauthorized publication of her private correspondence somehow called into question the fairness of her journalism.
