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?

    "Letting the terrorists win"

    It's amazing how stupid many democratically elected leaders are when reacting to terror attacks by abandoning legal and constitutional rights -- since that reaction is one of the strategic goals of the terrorists.

    As for the US-sponsored coup attampt against Chavez, is there any wonder why US-Venezuelan relations are now "strained"? I remember the M$M's jingoistic support for the failed coup -- no different from Hearst's "Remember the Maine" in Cuba.

    Disgraceful.
