"A more thorough examination of previous articles in The Times and other newspapers would have shown that in 2004 military investigators named another man as the one on the box, raising suspicions about Mr. Qaissi's claim," it said.Well, why trust those military investigators anyway. They're only the ones that broke the story for you lousy reporters anyway.

But the important thing is that it COULD have been him, or someone just like him.

The Times, one of the most respected U.S. newspapers... In some marxist circles yes. In pro-western circles it is more accurately recognized as one of the most vile propaganda operations this side of 1980s Pravda.
If they'd be considerate enough to print it on toilet paper, I'd be considerate enough to help with the circulation of old issues.

Now, c'mon. With all the anti-Bush stories this paper runs in an average year, you're gonna quibble that the misidentified some guy in a picture? Hell, he's part of the human race. Isn't that close enough?!
What I like is they wait til Saturday to admit it when nobody's paying attention. Straight outta the Krintong Playbook.

More Fake but Accurate from Big Media.

Why revile Pravda? I am convinced that they had a higher regard for reality than the Times, although the Russian politicos wouldn't know the truth if it came up and bit them.

The old Pravda was a piece of work. Still, it took it's direction from the State. The New York Times takes it's direction from anti-American subversives. They have no cover for doing so, other than that they hate our nation.

Anyone going to ask the harder question? How many more "fake but accurate" stories is the NYTimes sitting on?

Yeah, yeah, yeah...what the Times fails to address is that the Times is spring loaded to accept and print anything bad said about the US by an enemy of the US and that anything said by our military is determined to be a lie unless otherwise proven beyond several shades of doubt to be true.
The Times does no service to the American public, no service to those protecting the Times right to publish and goes out of it's way to help the enemy.

True, very true. But you can say one thing about Pravda, at least it lied to support its own country not tear it down like virtually all our large newspapers

The Times, one of the most respected U.S. newspapers... Since when?

...Qaissi, a former Baath Party official... That's enough to get anyone Hal Raines old job at the NYT.
Maybe Pinch can work a package deal and get Baghdad Bob to do book reviews? Put him in the same cubicle as Frank Rich?

No. The important thing is that when they get those facts wrong, then we cannot trust ANY of what they reported.. including the assertion that ANYONE was actually treated like that.
