NY Times says it erred in Abu Ghraib photo report

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.

When will the American people have had enough? The New York Times is placing its hatred for Bush and the war on terrorism that they really could care less about national security let alone trying to correctly report a story.

So, every morning, all the good little liberals read the NYT and quickly get on the phone or internet and start yelling and screaming about what they have just read...

This news paper sneaks editorials in the news section, they make up stories, and way too often, they rush an anti-Bush story to print before the facts are checked...

Now, this is where the media bias comes in. If any story (Bill and the blue dress) that made a Dem look bad, the press would sit on it. When they were caught (Newsweek) they would say they were making sure the story was true....they had to fact check.

Well, explain why no fact checking was done on this story...oh, I'm sure the CBS forged documents was a mistake, and the story about the Koran being flushed down the toilet was a mistake too. When are people going to stop believing their lame excuses and understand that these are not all a coincidence...and if these are all mistakes...mistakes that affect the safety of our soldiers that you liberals say you care about so much, along with the national security of this country, people need to be fired so we stop having mistake after mistake.
