Troubled Times
: Chris Hedges, the NY Times reporter and antiwar-book author who gave the booed-out commencement speech at Rockford College, tells a radio interviewer that the Times is looking into his views:
Q: What has been the response of your newspaper, The New York Times?
A: Well, they’re looking into whether I breached the protocol in terms of my very pointed statements about the Iraqi War. I mean, that’s something that makes them uncomfortable. I don’t think they have a problem with the book, because the book talks more generically about what war does to societies although it certainly does mention what it has done to us since 9/11. So that’s something that they’re looking at.
