Recently I objected to two articles in the New York Times which went to absurd lengths to avpid partiality for non perjurers. Now I see a news article by Linda Greenhouse which makes no attempt at all at impartiality. It is clear that she has a position -- indefinite detention without trial is not consistent with the US constitution. I am not a constitutional scholar but this seems to me to be simply a fact.

Now if I were to pretend that there is a common editorial policy behind the very different articles by very different journalists, I would conclude that the New York Times considers perjury no big deal but trampling on the US constitution to be going too far.
