We know the NYT's priorities

At 8 am central, July 1, the top story on their website is G.I.'s Investigated in Slayings of 4 and Rape in Iraq. They have not been convicted; they have not even been charged; this is just the fourth investigation into suspected killings of unarmed Iraqis by American soldiers announced by the military in June.

Other stories, of less importance to the NYT are

• Congo Nears Historic Election, Praying for Peace
• Mexico Charges Ex-President in '68 Massacre
• Pullback Demanded by Hamas
• Excommunication Is Sought for Stem Cell Researchers

To the New York Times, it is more important to discredit our soldiers who are just being investigated, than a historic election in the Congo, charges in a massacre in Mexico, Hamas's demands in the Middle East, and possible excommunication of scientists by the Vatican.
