The Lies of Our Times

Yesterday's New York Times mea culpa on their Iraq coverage (I can't find it online) was incredible that it occurred at all and in its inability to name names. Judith Miller and Michael Gordon were number 1 offenders but they're no Jason Blair, I guess. Remember JB? He fibbed about some stories and the entire editorial brass was canned along with pages and pages of corrections. The Judith Miller/Michael Gordon stories and others led to the deaths of thousands and thousands to come and all we get is an editorial on page 14(?). Here's a commentary on the whole deal by Amy Goodman.
