Open letter to New York Times. To Whom It May Concern:
Apparently, Judith Miller exploited this country's faith in your paper of record's heretofore unparalleled standards of excellence to justify and tacitly condone an invasion which has done unprecedented damage to our country and to the world.

Even the loss of one life as a consequence of Judith Miller's reporting is a tragedy, but we've lost thousands of American lives, and possibly over a hundred-thousand Iraqi lives.

We who have loved the New York Times since we were old enough to read are crushed and disillusioned. Losing your faith in the Supreme Court of the United States is one thing, but the paper that made Sunday morning worthwhile?

Has it occurred to you that this is not the ideal time to persuade we DUer's and our fellow denizens of the Internet, to subscribe to Times Select?

I suggest a moratorium on Times Select, by way of penance.

1.  "The Times,they are 'a hurtin' "
A little paraphrasing,but you get my point. All newspapers are in deep financial trouble.
