The Challenge

Joe Klein says that he "opposed the war" and implies a September 2005 cover story im Time justifies that claim, presumably through the Time Independent Principle of Punditry (even though said article never actually expresses opposition to the war, just a critique of how it was done).

I haven't been able to find anything from Klein during the pre-war period in which he expresses opposition to the war. Maybe it exists - I'm not saying it doesn't - but I can't find anything. See if you can.

The point being that if you're a pundit with a regular column in one of the nation's premier weekly news magazines and you have negative opinions about the premier political and foreign policy question of our time perhaps you'd see fit to be on the record about that.
