I called the number listed, followed the prompts to the international desk, and informed the monotone voice that answered (sounded like a very bored college kid) that I was calling about the bogus weapons cache story. I told him that, as he probably knew, NBC News had exposed the falsity of the story last night by reporting that its reporters were present and had verified the weapons were missing before the American troops even arrived. I told him that I thought the article was simply a partisan hit piece by the NY Times in the week before the election and that they should be printing a retraction, but that I doubted they would. He was polite and said he would "bring it to the attention of the editors." I urge you all to make similar calls.
I called a got a recording saying that a responsible journalist would be given the message. I sharply remarked that they do not employ any responsible terrorists.
