Bush Administration Said to be "Considering Alternatives Other Than Democracy"
...[and at the end of page 2]
Well there's a buried lead if I ever saw one. Okay, maybe it's not a classic buried lead because, on its own, it doesn't have much to stand on. But putting this quote in the second-to-last paragraph of a front page story? Boy howdy. Half the readers of this story won't get past the fold (or, online, click to see the second page), let alone get to the last two paragraphs.
"Senior administration officials have acknowledged to me that they are considering alternatives other than democracy," said one military affairs expert who received an Iraq briefing at the White House last month and agreed to speak only on condition of anonymity.
