Quote Of The Moment #0088
The New York Times, this great liberal newspaper, had 70 editorials between September 11, 2001 and the attack on Iraq, March 20, 2003. In not one of those editorials was the UN Charter, the Nuremberg Tribunal, or any aspect of International Law ever mentioned. Now, those guys know that these things exist -- and that's a perfect example of censorship by omission. And so if you were reading The New York Times over that period, during the buildup to the war, you would not have had the sense that the United States was planning on doing something that was a gross violation of International Law (and national law, for that matter).
