The New York Times on the Libya-Pan Am 103 Case: A Study in Propaganda Service

This is the title of a fascinating article by Professor Edward S Herman, published on 22 September 2007 on the Global Research website at http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=6845

The article analyses the New York Times's coverage of the Lockerbie disaster over the years and its editorial unwillingness to concede any possibility of doubt regarding the veracity of the official US and UK governmental version of events.

Readers are invited to comment on blog posts. All comments require to be pre-moderated by me, and I shall reject all (a) that are not related to the Lockerbie disaster or (b) that fail to meet my -- perhaps idiosyncratic -- standards of courtesy towards other contributors. Comments will not be rejected simply because I disagree with them or because I, or other contributors, find them irritating. But comments will be rejected if they distort or misrepresent the evidence; are defamatory; or if they risk embroiling me, as publisher, in defamation proceedings. I am perfectly relaxed about being sued in respect of material which I personally have posted -- but not in respect of material that others wish to post as comments and which, in any case, I often strongly disagree with.

Particularly during my sojourns in South Africa, it may not be possible for me to perform the moderation function speedily. I regret the necessity of moderation but it has been rendered inevitable by the behaviour of a particular commentator whose contributions will always and without exception be rejected.

No correspondence will be entered into regarding moderation decisions.
