The Times shows their bias again.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The New York Times said on Saturday it had identified the wrong man as the hooded prisoner standing on a box in a photograph that came to symbolize U.S. military abuses at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison.

The newspaper's March 11 profile about Ali Shalal Qaissi was challenged by online magazine Salon.com, which said an Army investigation had concluded the prisoner was a different man.
"The Times did not adequately research Mr. Qaissi's insistence that he was the man in the photograph," The Times said in an editor's note accompanying a front page story on the misidentification.
"A more thorough examination of previous articles in The Times and other newspapers would have shown that in 2004 military investigators named another man as the one on the box, raising suspicions about Mr. Qaissi's claim," it said.
The Times, one of the most respected U.S. newspapers, was stung in 2003 when former reporter Jayson Blair was found to have fabricated and plagiarized dozens of articles. Last year, the resignation of star reporter Judith Miller amid questions about her reporting in the run-up to the Iraq war further damaged the paper's standing.

Of course they didn't check into it. The story was too good. They just ran with it like they do with anything that can be construed as anti Bush. Too bad this paper has turned into such a rag.

Things that make you go hmm...

Hillary Clinton Endorsed Communist Control Of U.S. Ports

During a cross country tour to blast the controversial port management deal with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and announce her plan to introduce legislation to block it, Hillary Clinton has failed to mention a few important details.
First, is that her fear of port security in the hands of a foreign government--in this case the Arabs—should not stop the flow of money to her husband, who happens to be in the UAE creating a scholarship program for the Bill Clinton Foundation. The Dubai government is said to be donating big bucks.
Secondly, the New York senator has left out how, despite objections from the intelligence community, her husband pushed for deals with communist China after he received campaign contributions from renowned Chinese lobbyist Johnny Chung.
This includes a deal Bill Clinton made with Chinese company, Hutchinson Whampoa, to run the Panama Canal and its ports as well as the administration’s endorsement of another Chinese company, China Ocean Shipping Company (COSCO), to run the Long Beach Naval base in California.
Now Hillary is singing a different tune, saying that "Port security is national security and national security is port security."
Red State Son believes Hillary and her liberal pals are using the port deal as an opportunity to flex their fantasy muscle and that the rabid yowling has nothing to do with national security and everything to do with taking full advantage of a political opening.

This is just another case of 'do as I say and not as I do'.
