Tomorrow when the NSA story is the lead front page above the fold, and success in Iraq is 15th page we will see who is right.

I scanned quickly through Malkins writing, I saw no mention of any time frame in her report, so no I don't think she does make the argument for knocking the elections off the front page for today only. What good would that do anyway, if knock the elections off the front page was the goal? I still stand by my prediction that tomorrow and over the next several days this story is the lead, and we won't see any more good news out of Iraq on the NYT front page. Over the next few days we will see who is right.

It is odd that the Author has a book coming out in a month, the timing is really suspect isn't it?

And I heard he once kicked his dog so maybe everyone should just ignore the article.

Why the hell would the Iraqi elections be on the front page of any newspaper for several days in a row? It's news TODAY. When the results are in, that will on the front page as well. What does tomorrow have to do with anything?

I'm positive no one is arguing that the NYT is credible anymore. Fact is, they've gone downhill and not considered the "paper of record" anymore. That "honor" goes to the Washington Post.

Both are, of course, left wing mouthpieces, although the Post is a lot better at at least attempting to fake that it's apolitical.

Really one a one day story huh, well for the NYT you will be right. Lets see what else could they report on regarding the elcetions. How about the fact that went very smoothly, that the sunnis vote en mass, who got elected, how those folks are likely to react, how soon will they take power, what will they do first. How will Iran react, what about syria?

I think that is the right order.

Most people realize the "success" you are hinting at for Iraq has not really happened yet, since it is the aftermath of the elections that is still going to be unfolding for a long time. This is the 3rd election they have had and every time it is trumpeted as an overwhelming success, but our troops are still there, the insurgents are there and the war continues.

The election is progress but this is far from over so putting a story that has significant relevence for everyone today, on the front page, is the right call.

I think the election itself, simply having it is a huge story, and it's success only hurts those who detract from the war. What I still find odd, which you aparently don't by your kick the dog reply is the timing. So the NYT says they sat on the story for one year then they release it on the day the Iraqi elections are being covered also one month in advance of the book release. Why didn't they print it two weeks ago or a month ago? Ahh today was the day, becasue God forbid if any good news comes out of Iraq without another piece along side bashing the Bush admin.

I do find it odd and need to look more at the reasons. I was looking to see for a response from them as to why they released it on this date.

Okay, in the interest of fairness, you raise a good point. I thought your reaction was a knee jerk response to anything coming out of the NYT, so we'll see how this pans out.

That's one story's worth man.

Getting the iraq elections off the front page is idiotic. Printing the story now to hype a forthcoming book is a much more beleiveable theory, dont you think?

Steerike One! This picture of women who voted in Iraq big enough for ya? The large headline is in regards to the defeat of the Patriot Act renewal; the sub-headline references the fact that the NSA activity influenced that defeat.

Aren't people fighting and dying (regardless of your opinion that this is rightly or wrongly so) so that these elections can be held? Isn't the whole Iraq "mess" in the news everyday, and isn't that whole "mess" inextricably intertwined with the elections and establishing a new government?

did you actually scan that?

Yes, I have a commercial-size scanner at home. Takes up nearly half of my 1,400sq ft. ranch estate house.
