It wasn't quite clear from your post what you meant. I thought you meant Newsweek retracted the 2003 article, which they didn't as far as I know. And yes, the Times is doing a decent job, as is the Post. They're big papers with a lot of clout and they often use it in impressive ways. Besides, I've come to know some of the Times' staff. I've worked with them on the Khan case, so I was in a position to compare the things they wrote in their paper to the things we discussed and the sources we used on the ground, and they were certainly professionals.
