You have failed to read the article -- he tells us when he wrote it. Read his article, and fit the timeline of the events he describes, against the timeline of events the other article describes.

You are incorrect. As I said, I read the article. It was reposted from another site and it is anything but clear when it was filed. The New York Times has a timestamp and datestamp; the reposted one did not. Perhaps I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm not interested in defending this fellow further. My only points, which I trust has been made emphatically enough at this point, are: Don't attribute to malice what can be explained by honest mistakes; and journalists rarely have the full story at the best of times. -Declan
