Jonathan Weisman's chat:
Harrington Park, N.J.: What do you make of the public criticism [last item] of Michael Gordon of The Times following his appearance on Charlie Rose where he voiced his opinion about Iraq?
Jonathan Weisman: Reporters on television -- and in on-line chats -- put themselves into a perilous place. We are supposed to keep our opinions to ourselves, and at the same time, be engaging and fun. That said, Tom Ricks' book Fiasco definitely takes a strong point of view, backed up extensively by facts, and no one has jumped on him.
