Michael Gordon Strikes Again

It's amazing that he's managed to keep his exulted position on foreign affairs and foreign wars at the NYT through several changes of editors, going back to his role as co-conspirator on some of Judy Miller's Iraq WMD articles, right up the Syria last year and now this week on Russia and the Ukraine.   Today he is forced to admit at the top of this story that he may have been bamboozled--yet again--in the service of promoting hawkish or at least official U.S. administration or Pentagon views.  This is really juicy but I have to jump off now, carry on!

A collection of photographs that Ukraine says shows the presence of Russian forces in the eastern part of the country, and which the United States cited as evidence of Russian involvement, has come under scrutiny.
