I'm sure you remember that the NYTimes published a news article about some lovable Left anarchist who reveled in bombing the Pentagon. His name was Ayers or the like and is married to some other Left terrorist and now living the good life in IL. That was good timing coming as it did just as the WTC and Pentagon were torched.

But the NYTimes's affinity for Lefty terrorists is a LT affair.

On July 20, 2001 the New York Times published a large, prominent op-ed piece by Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, called "What the Protestors in Genoa Want." The authors are identified only as the authors of a book called "Empire."

Yet, less than 2 weeks ago, the Times published a long article about "Empire" and its authors. In it, we learn that the two met in Paris, "where Mr. Negri had fled to avoid serving his jail sentence. (In 1997, he returned to Rome -- and went directly to prison.)"

Earlier in the article, we read of "the allure of Mr. Hardt's flamboyant co-author, Antonio Negri, a 68-year-old Italian philosopher and suspected terrorist mastermind who is serving a 13-year prison sentence in Rome for inciting violence during the turbulent 1970's."

Let's put aside for the moment the fact that the op-ed piece didn't even come close to saying anything comprehensible about "what the protestors in Genoa want."

Was it crazy to expect the Times to mention that the co-author of their op-ed piece is a terrorist mastermind serving a 13-year prison sentence for inciting violence?
