It’s No Accident: L.A. Times Editors Have Done It Again patterico.com L.A. Times editors have doubled down. They have yet again suppressed evidence that U.S. soldiers were justified in shooting at the car carrying Giuliana Sgrena to a Baghdad airport. A Reuters story filed Saturday morning states on page two: CBS news has reported that a U.S. satellite had filmed the shooting and that it had been established the car carrying Calipari was traveling at more than 60 miles per hour as it approached the U.S. checkpoint in Baghdad. Today’s L.A. Times reprint of the article edits out that passage, which suggests that there is definitive proof that the car was speeding – a critical issue in the controversy. Anyone else feeling that sense of déjà vu? As I told you yesterday, the same exact passage was contained in a Friday Reuters dispatch, and was edited from the L.A. Times reprint of that article in yesterday’s paper. Today’s edit proves that yesterday’s suppression of this information was no accident. It was part of an ongoing effort to hide this evidence from the paper’s readers. After all, The Times still has not told its readers about this evidence, even though CBS News aired it Thursday night, and it’s now Sunday morning. As I noted yesterday, the speed of the car is a critical issue, and the paper has run numerous articles trumpeting Sgrena’s allegations that the car was moving slowly. If they’re going to cut anything, this is the last thing they should cut – if they’re interested in the truth. But it’s the first thing you’d cut if your objective is to make the United States look bad . . .
