Goldstone's Yom Kippur and the NYTimes, Take II

Thanks to Professor Adler for pointing this out. Apparently,

The Times saw a very different op-ed by Goldstone about two weeks ago, just one in a series of articles he'd written trying to clarify and finesse the meaning of the report; the paper rejected it because it said nothing new, the source said. 

That version didn't contain the crucial repudiation of the report's central thrust, that the Israeli Defense Forces targeted civilians intentionally and as a matter of policy...

Times spokeswoman Eileen Murphy emails, "We did in fact receive an Op-Ed submission from Richard Goldstone on March 22, but that piece bears no resemblance to the one that was published in the Washington Post on Sunday." 

Goldstone's Yom Kippur

I have to say, I was wondering why Goldstone's retraction was published in the Washington Post and not in the Times....
YNet reports that the NYTimes had refused to publish Goldstone's letter of regret.


Interesting.
