Gone East

Unconvinced

Concord Monitor newspaper, Concord, NH:

Randall opposed the Iraq war from the start. But she's willing to give the benefit of the doubt to those politicians who voted to use force against Saddam Hussein last year - including four of the 10 declared candidates. The trouble is, none of them has yet convinced her to do so.

"I can understand why some of those people voted for it. But I would like to see some honesty," Randall said. ". . . I want every single one of them to say it was a lousy idea, that they were taken in, and they're going to do something about it. . . . That to me is leadership, and I haven't really seen that."
