Letter to the NEW YORK TIMES - "Supreme Disgrace"

To All -

First, an important correction:

A few days ago, I sent out an essay titled "You, too, could be a 
Holocaust Denier."  I credited it to "Anonymous" since it came to me 
without the author's signature or even a pseudonym.

I did not write that essay - it was written by a long-time ZGram 
reader named Mel Fowler, a retired California attorney.  The essay 
was originally titled "The Big Lie".

Secondly,  another friend of ours took on the New York Times on our 
behalf - Thank you for doing that, James!  Here goes;

Supreme Disgrace, October 11, 2007. p. A26.

Editor:

Today's editorial, "Supreme Disgrace", castigates the Supreme Court 
for its refusal to hear the civil suit of Khaled El-Masri, a Muslim 
with German citizenship, an apparently innocent man, kidnapped and 
perhaps tortured by the CIA in its rendition program. The New York 
Times denounces the renditions program and everything it entails, 
even if you do not mention it was conceived and implemented by Neo- 
Cons, and even as you fanatically support the War on the Enemies of 
Israel (AKA War on Terrorism).

The New York Times is, however, very selective in its outrage since 
there are several rendition victims who have never drawn the support 
of the New York Times: Ernst Zundel and Germar Rudolf. Like thousands 
of Europeans, they are in the European concentration camp system for 
thought criminals because they think thoughts disapproved of (but not 
disproved) by Jews. The New York Times, of course, supports the 
imprisonment as thought criminals all who think thoughts disapproved 
of by Jews and supports this in the name of "human rights" and 
"freedom".

The selective outrage of the New York Times mirrors that of the 
Council of Europe which denounces the United States for the 
renditions of Muslim immigrants to Europe who have become citizens 
(like El-Masri), Muslim refugees and illegal aliens in Europe, and 
even of Muslims who never were in Europe, even as it ignores the 
human rights of Native Europeans who have been stripped of their 
human rights and incarcerated for thought crimes. The Council of 
Europe, like the New York Times, defends the rights of Muslim 
immigrants, Muslim refugees and illegal immigrants (some of whom 
clearly were involved in anti-Christian terrorism), and Muslims in 
North Africa, without even considering the possibility that Europeans 
like Zundel and Rudolf should have even the pretense of human rights. 
This selective outrage is part of a broad political agenda, advanced 
relentlessly by the New York Times, to strip Majority populations in 
Europe and in European-Majority states worldwide of all civil and 
human rights, in the name of minority empowerment.

The political manipulation of the question of rendition by the New 
York Times and the Council of Europe mirrors the selective outrage 
over concentration camps: While all the world is outraged over Jews 
being placed in concentration camps seventy years ago, there is a 
grim silence when it comes to Palestinian elected parliamentarians 
being dragged off to the Israeli concentration camp system today.

There is a "Supreme Disgrace" here and it is that of the New York 
Times. At the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials, Julius Streicher, a 
newspaper editor and publisher, was sentenced to death for failing to 
tell the truth as it was perceived by his enemies. And what will your 
defense be?
