Mmodzi womaliza wamkati, Washington Post msirikali wakale Jim Hoagland adapita pang'ono polemba kalata yotseguka kwa Purezidenti Bush pa Okutobala 31, 2001. Sikunali kukondweretsedwa kwa Halowini. M'malo mwake, Hoagland adalimbikitsa mwamphamvu zomwe adati "chikhumbo" cha "mutu wa Osama bin Laden," zomwe adati ndizolinga za "akazembe ndi akazembe" a Bush.
Ndikudabwa komwe Hoagland adapeza chidutswa chamagazi chija.
Nthawi yomweyo, pali zoopsa pogawana zambiri ndi omwe ali mkati kapena akunja. M'kalata yake yotsegulira Bush, Hoagland adakweza nsalu yotchinga pamasewera omwe anali okhetsa magazi kwa miyezi ikubwerayi pomupatsa Bush izi. Kufunika kothana ndi kupitilizabe kwa zida zankhondo zaku Iraq ndi zamankhwala komanso ukadaulo wopanga bomba la nyukiliya sizingachepetsedwe ndi zofuna za Afghanistan. Muyenera kuchita kampeniyo kuti muthe kuyambiranso mwachangu kuti muchepetse chiwopsezo chaulamuliro wa Saddam Hussein.
