the NYTimes would have sold out the allies Normandy invasion if it was today's NYTimes, no doubt about it...

John, I also posted a long one today. Copied the contents of a mail from friends in Honolulu because I thought it had some merits to it. Taro

As most of our readers know, there is a large wall between the news and opinion operations of this paper, and we were not part of the news side's debates about whether to publish the latest story under contention — a report about how the government tracks international financial transfers through a banking consortium known as Swift in an effort to pinpoint terrorists. Bill Keller, the executive editor, spoke for the newsroom very clearly. Our own judgments about the uproar that has ensued would be no different if the other papers that published the story, including The Los Angeles Times and The Wall Street Journal, had acted alone. To me this is a joke. We've known for years that the gov't is trying to trace money exchanges among the terrorists. So what if the gov't is taking a new approach in this tracing. It just amazes me that they keep bringing up the same stuff over and over again in order to regain their edge. Of course with people like harris, they want to believe that the NY Times has uncovered a serious operation that puts the entire country in jeopardy. I'll tell you.....its hard living with people who play by their own rules.
