    The Washington Times has NO CREDIBILITY

    There may be some kind of story in the vicinity, but I don't care. Why? Read what a former insider says about the Washington Times' incoming Editor in Chief's motivations for running this piece:

    "In the discussion with colleagues on The Washington Times foreign desk, editor Jones said: "The reason we are running this story is that [editor Fran] Coombs thinks all the aborted girls means that Indian men will be immigrating to the United States to marry our girls." That is an exact quote, what Jones told his colleagues on the foreign desk.

    Coombs has told me and others repeatedly that he favors abortion because he sees it as a way to eliminate black and other minority babies."

    That's all that really needs to be said. I'll wait for a more credible source to come along, thanks.
