STOP THE PRESSES—NEW YORK TIMES DISCOVERS TERRORISTS AT GITMO!!

Better late than never, I suppose…..

I’ll have to admit I’d be more respectful of the PAPER OF RECORD, if this discovery had occurred BEFORE the elections, but never mind…....

“It would be very difficult for a new president to come in and say, ‘I don’t believe what the C.I.A. is saying about these guys,’ ” said Daniel Marcus, a Democrat who was general counsel of the 9/11 Commission and held senior positions in the Carter and Clinton administrations….But as a new administration begins to sort through the government’s dossiers on the men, the analysis shows, officials are likely to face tough choices in deciding how many of Guantánamo’s hard cases should be sent home, how many should be charged and what to do with the rest.

This is really quite the change, don’t you think? After the last five years of reading the NYT, I was under the impression that the guys at Gitmo were simply farmers, goat-herders, and innocent bystanders swept up by the indiscriminate rampages of the American military…....what on earth has changed? Hmmmmmmmmm?
