Only now the New York Times is outraged about NSA spying: only because Israel was a target

This is quite hilarious.  For months there has been revelations about the extent of global NSA spying and even spying on US citizens.  The New York Times was more amused than outraged in its coverage. But notice how different the tone is when it comes to Israel. The paper is quite outraged.  Also, notice that the New York Times under the cloak of national security and privacy has refused to cite from the private emails of targeted individuals, including the Israelis mentioned in the article today.  But it has no qualms about citing form the private emails of one man: a black African.
