From Michael: "While
reading this I couldn't help but think of of all the praise you heaped on Anne
Barnard's 'flawless' Syria reporting...
"(In
general, The Times’s coverage of Syria, in recent weeks, has avoided the
mistakes made before the Iraq war — which were less the product of anonymous
sources than of flawed reporting. And its
editorial page has
been appropriately cautious on the same subject.)"
