Lawfare readers who have followed my mini-crusade (here, here, and here, for example) to get the New York Times to stop willfully misrepresenting the legality of military detention in its editorials will be amused by this post from Eugene Volokh about the newspaper's editing of letters to the editor which accuse the Times of error. It does not involve national security law, yet is, I think, revealing of the mentality behind the paper's refusal to get facts right--and correct gross misstatements of law.
Benjamin Wittes is editor in chief of Lawfare and a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. He is the author of several books.
