The Times’ coverage helps the insurgency
- Share via
The July 25 Column One (“Shots to the Heart of Iraq”) describing American soldiers’ accidental harming of Iraqi civilians was a brilliant propaganda piece for the insurgency. By describing in prominent detail the failures of our soldiers over there (while ignoring their successes), The Times only encourages the terrorists to continue their efforts, knowing that the Americans, and not terrorists, will be blamed by the Western media for the continuing violence. If I didn’t know better, I would think that The Times, at least based on this article, is a branch of Al Jazeera.
