There is quite a remarkable opinion piece in the Post--Mahmoud al-Zahar, founder of Hamas, has
a column. What's more, the Post itself has
an accompanying editorial that effectively rebuts what he says and condemns him as a terrorist. Kind of a weird case of having it both ways, I think. Their rationale for publishing the column:
We believe Mr. Zahar's words are worth publishing because they provide some clarity about the group he helps to lead, a group that Mr. Carter contends is worthy of being included in the Middle East peace process.
Fair enough.
Dan Froomkin, who wrote good--and by "good" I mean very, very critical--posts about the White House--up to and including Obama's--has been fired by the Washington Post.
