Mumbai, the NYT's revisionism, and lessons not learned

The Times' Editorial Page blames the Bush administration for "blessing" the military coup against Hugo Chavez without mentioning that it did the same. Why does that matter?

    I can already see that in Zoltan Newberry we'll have

    a troll who will quickly become the new frontrunner for the daily/weekly award for most factually uninformed, reason challenged, poster of "teh most teh stoopidist stuff on da toobz". Hey Zoltan--does it "burn" being as dumb as my yellow lab? Difference between you and her is that she's about unconditional love and you, well, . . . at this point hard to say but my initial impression is you're about false equivalency, blinkered doctrinal faith in whatever, bitterness, and reflexive dissemination of rhetorical offal. Defending Paul Wolfowitz on any level is just plain moronic and misinformed. Why don't you go back the the Faux News comment section where you'll have lots of kindred spirits to talk to. If not prepare to get worked because this place does not suffer fools lightly. Maybe Wolfowitz's cronyism and incompetence was what turned all the World Bank employees against him rather than his attempts to "clean up" the institution? Wolfowitz as a paragon of moral virtue and principaled business competence--get serious.

    Disclaimer: I'm no fan of the World Bank.
