Their oh-so-predictable Jerusalem correspondent Steven Erlanger is inveighing against the IDF for not allowing enough war access to him and his colleagues and for a lack of &#8230; ready for this?&#8230;. &#8220;proportionality.&#8221; (Wonder how Erlanger would have dealt with the fire-bombing of Dresden. Hope his father wasn&#8217;t involved.) Thank the Goddess we&#8217;re in the post-Jason Blair/Internet era when most of us know the NYT is just another dead-tree publication with its stock heading into the toilet and not the &#8220;Newspaper of Record,&#8221; a concept so inherently totalitarian it&#8217;s amazing a democratic society could have ever countenanced such a thing in the first place. It&#8217;s also particularly ironic that all this jejune bullshit by Erlanger and his colleagues was being shoveled at a conference held in Jerusalem itself. Imagine them arranging a similar event in South Lebanon or Gaza to criticize the locals. [Which group of jihadists would kidnap them first?-ed.
