Well at least I have some logic.
I notice that this story has not been carried by pretty much anyone else, not even Fox News - curious. But that still leads you to your conclusion that the NYT is not a fine, respectable newspaper. So I don't think this is plagiarism, and the Russians didn't accuse them of that either.
'Everyone' cheered for the Iraq invasion; many were misled by Judith Miller and VP Cheney. At least in May of 2004 the Times issued "an extraordinary mea culpa over its coverage of Iraq, admitting it had been misled about the presence of weapons of mass destruction by sources including the controversial Iraqi leader Ahmad Chalabi." So there's the Iraq war - a bad mistake. And I'm sure there are others - BUT that does not warrant your labeling it "NOT a fine, respectable newspaper". Show me a newspaper that hasn't had a retraction.
Ah, yes, and there's the rub - you still haven't provided a news source more respectable than the NYT. So where do you get your news? And how many Pulitzers has it or they won for fine reporting? I'm less than impressed by your logic and conclusions.
