NYT to apologize to soldier's family

Who's apologizing now?

The NYT to this Texas family for showing photos of his dying son.

WASHINGTON — The New York Times will express regret for hurting the feelings of the family of a Texas soldier after publishing a photograph and a video showing him as he lay dying in Baghdad. The letter is part of an agreement reached Wednesday between the Army and the Times to resolve a controversy about the use of images of Staff Sgt. Hector Leija without his consent.

What idiots the papers are these days. They're literally DYING because of irrelevance and then they do stupid stuff like this. You might expect this from some of the warmonger GOP types and their media whores like Hannity or Malkin, but please, don't try to be "edgy" in such a clumsy way.

Army's Vice Chief Apologizes

Who's Apologizing Now update

Gen. Richard Cody, the Army's Vice Chief of Staff, strongly voiced his frustration and disappointment on behalf of senior Army leaders. His frustration stems from a mass-mailing of a letter sent Dec. 26-28 to more than 5,100 Army officers who recently served, encouraging the former officers to consider returning to military service. "Every Army leader is just sick that this happened," he said Jan. 6....he Army is personally re-contacting the families of about 75 deceased officers and 200 wounded officers to apologize. "This is an inexcusable mistake. Five years into this war, the Army can do better than this -- and we will," Cody said.
