(tho that's not the delusion anyone is worried about hugh)

No one in the Arab world has ever suffered under the delusion that the US is a neutral arbiter in the conflict between Israel and Palestine. Sanger certainly knows this.

The Bush administration (I would guess knowingly) committed the fallacy of affirming the consequent with its claim that "there have been no attacks on the US, therefore our policy is good".

I've been carrying my lucky chocolate bar since 9/11 -- maybe that's why there hasn't been any attack.

David Sanger should know better, but given the Times's record on the Middle East, it shouldn't surprise us that he sounds like a Bush press flunky.

Hey can you ask him if he thinks Israel should have a nuclear arsenal?

Can you ask him if he was disappointed with the NYT's reporting leading up to the war in Iraq?

Hi Leonard. O'm listening your show right now.
about american diplomacy. but why cannon we be the normal nation and not to cultivate our primacy. we paid too big price for this global appetite in our moral and quality of life.

If transparency is so crucial then why aren't newspapers and other media lobbying hard for a bailout? Do they not trust their own abilities and role as watchdogs enough to make that case to the Bailout Fairies?

"Be an Informed Citizen" How exactly? Sanger has built a career in a medium that led us to a war in Iraq? He now wants us to believe Iran is a threat! A threat to whom exactly? Not us.

Could Mr. Sanger comment on why major news organizations disproportionately direct their resources and talent to national and international news vis-a-vis state and local coverage, and whether this contributes to a greater degree of graft/corruption at the lower levels of government?
