The press covers the same damn letter?

[blimix]

I can hardly believe it. Here are three different headlines covering today's story about Saddam Hussein's letter:

Guardian Unlimited: Saddam urges Iraqis to unite against 'invaders'

BBC News: Saddam sees death as 'sacrifice'

New York Times: Hussein's Letter Urges Iraqis Not to Hate U.S.-Led Forces

I gotta say: Seriously, NY Times, WTF? You saw the rest of that letter too, right?

I don't know, did they? It's apparently too much for the public to handle, since none of those "news" sources bothered to devote their precious bandwidth to carrying the actual text in addition to their pre-digested analysis of it.

Aaaahhhhh, the NY Times. Once again leading the press troops under the banner of Yellow Journalism.
