Since publication of the article, The Times has received over 2,000 comments, many of them criticizing the handling of the article. Editors and reporters who worked on the article will be answering questions on Friday. Please send yours to askthetimes@nytimes.com. |

Report: McCain’s Top Advisors Are D.C.Lobbyists
CIA Admits Used UK Territory For Rendition Flights The CIA has admitted the United States used the British territory of Diego Garcia during two extraordinary rendition flights in 2002. For years the U.S. had denied ever using any British airspace or territory for the secret flights but a recent US investigation uncovered two flights that stopped in Diego Garcia. The CIA continues to deny allegations that the US maintains a secret prison on the island in the Indian Ocean. British Foreign Secretary David Miliband broke the news to MPs on Thursday.
British Prime Minister Gordon Brown expressed “disappointment” about the news.

Note: In a later report just posted on the Times website, Steven Erlanger, its regular reporter from Israel, quotes Olmert's spokesman as stating that Olmert responded positively to the Arab League initiative "as a basis for negotiations" with the Arab world and even "praised it." He didn't say where or when this happened, and Erlanger apparently didn't bother to ask him. Another Israeli official criticized the Arab League leaders as "more Nasserite." February 22, 2008 Arab Leaders Say the Two-State Proposal Is in PerilCAIRO — Arab leaders will threaten to rescind their offer of full relations with Israel in exchange for a complete Israeli withdrawal from occupied lands unless Israel gives a positive response to their initiative, indicating the Arab states' growing disillusionment with the prospects of a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. At an Arab League meeting next month in Syria, the leaders are planning to reiterate support for their initiative, first issued in 2002. The initiative promised Israel normalization with the league's 22 members in return for the creation of a Palestinian state on the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with East Jerusalem as the capital, and a resolution of the issue of Palestinian refugees. But this time, "there will be a message to Israel emphasizing the need to respond to the initiative; otherwise, Arab states will reassess the previous stage of peace," said Muhammad Sobeih, assistant secretary general of the Arab League in charge of the Palestinian issue. "They will withdraw the initiative and look for other options. It makes no sense to insist on something that Israel is rejecting." ( Read more... ) |

Follow up on Arab Ultimatum article in NYTimes
Subject: Follow up on Arab Ultimatum article in NYTimes I regret to say that my note at the beginning of the piece by Slackman on the Arab League initiative in today's NYTimes was poorly drafted. A correspondent took me to task for repeating what Olmert's spokesman reportedly said, thinking, I guess, that I gave it some credence. He commented that "Olmert is lying every time he opens his mouth." I have been saying for years that neither Israel nor the US has ever responded positively to the Arab League initiative, and it is a plain lie to say that Israel praised it or welcomed it in any way. I suppose the Slackman piece raised the ire of Israel's advocates and they complained to the Times editors, who told Erlanger, their man in Jerusalem, to get a quote from a good Israeli source. As I noted, Erlanger did not ask his source to tell him where or when Olmert or any other Israeli leader welcomed the Arab League initiative. Bob Keeley |
