He was publisher when Times senior reporter Judith Miller
propagandized the lies about “weapons of mass destruction” and
fabricated ties between Baghdad and Al Qaeda that were use to foist the
2003 war against Iraq onto the American people. Under his stewardship, a
stable of editorial commentators, among them the ineffable Thomas
Friedman, were employed to cloak every US war of aggression under the
false mantles of “human rights,” “democracy” and the “war on terror.”
The cost of these wars is numbered in the millions of dead and
wounded, the tens of millions turned into homeless refugees and entire
regions of the globe reduced to chaos and destruction. The Times,
in its role as the leading purveyor of war propaganda and the
trendsetter for the national media, and Sulzberger personally as its
publisher, have blood on their hands.
