Salvagery

The war hasn't yet begun, but already the Seattle Times is getting all Winston Smith on our asses. (Maybe.)

Yesterday's (March 17) print edition of the Times included an Op-Ed by Dr. Cesar Chelala entitled "The Human Costs of War". An excellent piece by an authoritative source, concerning an immensely important and criminally undercovered issue.

The piece has not been included in the Times' web archive. A phone call to the Times elicited surprise at the erroneous exclusion, and a promise to get on the case. As it's still not, as of this writing, available via the web archive, it has been made available via this blog.

If you know of any other cases of newspaper "revisionism", and can snail-mail photocopies of the original print articles, please endeavour to get in touch.

Update: The article in question has now been added to the Times' web archive. So it was all a false alarm. For now.
