I don't know; but I do know what I see and that is a lot of support for the NYT in the letters to the editor section.
Granted, there are also letters of condemnation, but not enough to satisfy my sense of outrage.
I know you were deeply affected by 9/11, as were many other New Yorkers, but it seems all too many have forgotten.

You're referring to the editor section of the NYT? If so I would imagine its because they put most of them in the "evil american" basket.
The Times prints what it wants to. For all we know they receive twenty letters of disgust for every one of support. Look at the origin of the letters to the editor. The times always likes to flaunt its global reach by printing as many (usually more) letters from far-flung readers as they do from NYers. You are more likely to see a letter from Seattle than from Staten Island.
An American using the Times as an accurate reflection of what NYers really think is akin to a Frenchman using the Times as a reflection of what all Americans (including you Peach) think.
Well thank heaven they arrested him in a nice place like Lebanon. I certainly hope they don't transfer him to that evil Gitmo place, but at least the OverLords Of All Congress and Government (aka SCOTUS) will make sure that he's tried in our own courts, at our expense.
Whew, what a blankety-blank relief.
(thanks for the ping / rant)
And who is deciding how many letters, pro and con, will be printed on the subject? If there were 50,000 railing at the sellouts, and 100 in support, and they'd print more of the supporting letters.
