New York Times’ Iraqi Border Boondoggle
The New York Times apparently didn’t fact check this story about [non]forged ballots in Iraq. Ouch. Confederate Yankee is on it.
Via CQ.
UPDATE: James Joyner has more.
Ed Morrissey thinks the fact that the borders are closed makes it a slam dunk that the NYT report is wrong. Of course, the U.S. border with Mexico is technically “closed,” too. Bob Owens likewise takes the denial at face value.
It’s not inconceivable that al-Khafaji is lying. One would think, though, reports of his men doing their job quite superbly would reflect well on him, so his motivation for lying in this case is hard to fathom.
The fact that the NYT based its story on a single, unnamed source is the real problem here. There should certainly be a lot more caveats in the piece if that’s all they had backing it up.
