The Times at war

The New York Times has sunk to a new lew, a stunning depth, in its ongoing war against the Bush adminstration and the Iraq war. It’s hard to outdo some of the outrages coming out of the Times over the past year, but this does it.

Michelle Malkin has details of the rules journalists have to follow in covering the war firsthand, from her own visit recently. Posting them at the beginning of this piece establishes the gravity of what they cover.

Malkin calls this an “unspeakable violation.” I agree. It speaks for itself.
