Neil MacFarquhar: New York Times' correction
I wrote yesterday about the lousy propaganda piece by Neir MacFarquhar about the speech by the Iranian president. The New York Times printed this the next day: "A headline on Friday with an article about an incendiary speech in the United Nations General Assembly by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran summarized his remarks about the Sept. 11 terror attacks incorrectly. In his speech, Mr. Ahmadinejad asserted various theories about the origin of the attacks, including the possibility that they had been planned by the United States. He did not say that the United States had planned the attacks." (thanks Joe)
