The New York Times ran an Op-Ed piece today about U.S. relations via-a-vis
Iran. Or rather the gray lady ran most of the article. By my rough
estimate, ten percent of the piece was redacted.

One of the services paid for by your taxes: CIA's Publication Review Board.
The Times says this Board found nothing wrong with the article, co-authored
by a former employee of the National Security Council. However, the Board
apparently made the deletions from the original article on orders from the
White House.

Other anti-Bush blogs have seized on this, of course. For us outside the
Beltway, it's more evidence of the cynical use of media in the propaganda
barrage over the highly political Mideast mess.
