You are absolutely right that this thread links to an article from a French magazine, but is is simply an article about the New Yorker article coming out next week. All of the quotes are from the New Yorker article, which apparently has been pre-distributed to certain other outlets for the purpose of advance publicity. I am sure the French publisher was more than willing to oblige. As you indicated, "spin" is the proper verb.

Thanks! You dug deeper than I did.

So now the french are getting their anti-American propaganda from our own publications.

Why am I not surprised! ;-)
