The Times just can't apologize enough

A follow-up to our May New York Times might apologize piece. In a new Op/Ed piece they keep apologizing

But we do fault ourselves for failing to deconstruct the W.M.D. issue with the kind of thoroughness we directed at the question of a link between iraq and Al Qaeda, or even tax cuts in time of war. We did not listen carefully to the people who disagreed with us. Our certainty flowed from the fact that such an overwhelming majority of government officials, past and present, top intelligence officials and other experts were sure that the weapons were there. We had a groupthink of our own.

"Groupthink" at the New York Times! Who would ever have guessed? And does this mean they're going to "listen carefully" now? Will they make Judith Miller subscribed to the Nonviolence.org blog or to any of the fantastic blogs we highlight in the "Sites We Like" list? One can only hope...
