"Will the NY Times Pay For Its Crimes?"
by Ahmed Amrwww.dissidentvoice.org
In a recent Guardian article titled 'Prime Time for Liars and Sleaze Artists' (3/8/2004), Peter Preston quotes Kurt Eichenwald, a New York Times reporter. "Pathological liars are pathological liars. They lie. I have come across more than my share of Blair-type liars. They are all the same. Once they are caught, they pretend to be confessing -- then lie all over again ... And all of them -- as you dig deeper into their false confessions -- are thoroughly, thoroughly unrepentant ...". Over at Salon.com, another NYT reporter, Judith "WMD" Miller, was still defending the lies of the Times. "I was f--king right." Eichenwald is well advised to stop preaching on the pages of the Guardian and start giving sermons in Times Square. After his indignant outburst in an English paper, it would be interesting to hear Kurt's critique of the lame mea culpa that his employer published just last week. www.dissidentvoice.org
