Lies of Jeffrey Feltman: on Al-Akhbar

Al-Akhbar translates the letter of Jeffrey Feltman to the New York Times and then corrects the record.  Contrary to claims by Feltman, Al-Akhbar says that its correspondents meet regularly with US diplomats and that they don't have a boycott policy, but that they did not see value in propaganda sessions with Feltman.  It also states that a representative of the US embassy was allowed into Al-Akhbar's offices to check on its finances  because the embassy was checking into rumors about financing of the paper.
