The Times’s kill list story should be followed up on the ground
By launching its own investigation in Yemen and elsewhere, the Times might be able to find out what those guys doing jumping jacks were really up to.
Correction: This article originally reported that the public radio program To the Point is produced by NPR. In fact, the program is co-produced by Public Radio International and KCRW, a Los Angeles-area public radio station. The relevant sentence has been corrected. CJR regrets the error.
