The New York Times Covers Up

Only two days ago, this article had a headline declaring the Afghan election "a success". I pointed this out at the time. Today, I noticed that the headline was changed and the article was doctored. And the same correspondent of the Times today wrote this: "Reports of fraud and intimidation in Afghanistan’s presidential election continued to mount Saturday, with anecdotal but widespread accounts of ballot-box stuffing, a lack of impartiality among election workers and voters casting ballots for others."
