Dear New York Times: Fuck You
On their homepage, the tagline to this story is as follows: "Senior U.S. military officials presented their first public evidence for the assertion that Iran is supplying Shiite extremists in Iraq with lethal weapons." It's a triumph of non-critical parroting of government claims. Clearly, they have gone through the requisite self-examination and learned the crucial lessons of the lead-up to what future historians will call "The Fucking Iraq Clusterfuck."I especially like that they specify that we're talking about lethal weapons here. Otherwise, I'd have assumed we were talking about your typical Nerf Bow and Arrow.
