The New York Times Again Censoring WikiLeaks

by Stephen Lendman November 30, 2010

“After its own redactions, The Times sent Obama administration officials the cables it planned to post and invited them to challenge publication of any information that, in the official view, would harm the national interest (again reveal America’s true agenda – global imperial destructiveness). After reviewing the cables, (officials) suggested additional redactions. The Times agreed to some, but not all.”

The Times said it will post only about 100 cables, some redacted, others in full, “that illuminate aspects of American foreign policy,” but will follow White House instructions in do doing.
