Cited as Symbol of Abu Ghraib, Man Admits He Is Not in Photo (NYT caught red-handed in another lie!)

New York Times ^ | 03/18/2006 | KATE ZERNIKE

[Greg o the Navy]

In the summer of 2004, a group of former detainees of Abu Ghraib prison filed a lawsuit. One claimed to be the man in the photograph -- wires attached to his outstretched arms. The trouble was, the man in the photograph was not Mr. Qaissi.

I didn;t say say lock everyone up - just everyone at the NYT - or, we could always just use Ann Coulter's suggestion ; )

The Front Page scan is up now: http://www.nytimes.com/pages/pageone/scan/index.html

Not as prominent, but I at least like the picture this time ; )

surely the "editor's note" ought get the same presentation (type, square inches, etc). as the original "error."

[the invisib1e hand]

what's going on there?

St Patrick's Day parade (police or firemen and and cute redhead). Lots of Red, White, and Blue too.

Human rights workers seemed to support his account... While they said he could well be that man, they did not say they believed he was.

The NYT could be a newspaper, but I don't believe it.

"The paper of record" should be given a prison record.

When can the public start suing them out of existence?

I agree with your post # 4 even if i don't know what a ballon is.
Times stock is in free fall.

"... and I was wired up and electrocuted."

Hmmmmm... Dead man talking...

The Times asked Greg Packer what he thought about Mr. Qaissi's claims.

"I'm disappointed, I was first in line to get "Mr. Abu Ghraib's" autograph. He even signed a 8 x 10 color glossy photograph that had circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back explaining that it was to be used as evidence against the US. I feel as though I've been violated."

If it's in the New York Times, you can count on the facts being 180^o from the way the Times presents them.

They have long ago decided on outright lying as their business model.

[usmcobra]

Doesn't that make the rest of his story Bull crap as well or is it falsified but accurate

[Valin]

once again...MSM provides news that' fake but accurate


Faccurate

[Drango]

Mr. Qaissi's account had already been broadcast and printed by other outlets, including PBS

The defense is that PBS also said it?

Thanks for the ping.

It is obvious that the Publisher, editors, op ed writers and supposed journalists are infected with the deadly Enron Virus.

The Enron virus makes everyone infected with it into complete left wing liars. The Enron Virus makes the senior officers of the infected fishwrap corporations cook their books to de fraud their advertisers.

The owners and other liars of the NY Slimes are in the process of shutting themselves down. Below is their stock chart for the last 2 years.

[pointsal]

What did the NYT do?....

Hire Mary Mapes and Dan Rather as advisors?

[Grampa Dave]

Besides their stock value falling like a rock, their bond rating may start falling like a rock. Below is a link to a great thread yesterday, posted by ABB.

Moody's may downgrade New York Times ratings (Dinosaur Media Extinction Alert)

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Moody's Investors Service on Friday placed New York Times Co.'s (NYT) A2 senior unsecured long term debt, and P-1 commercial paper ratings on review for possible downgrade. The agency said the review is prompted by Moody's growing concerns about the media company's high financial leverage, deteriorating operating margins and weak free cash flow available for debt reduction, combined with concerns over intensifying cross media competition, including the Internet, and growing event risk in the newspaper sector. A multi-notch ratings transition will be considered in light of the company's financial and operating challenges, Moody's said.

At the supermarket checkout, in between TV Guide and National Enquirer. I asked the cashier, she started laughing "It's right where it belongs"!

Hoosiers know BS when they see it.
