an open message to the NYT:

stuff it. you've lost your grande glamour years ago, and your age is showing as you wimper down journalism lane.

The NYT stuffs word of a classified CIA report that says Iraq is, surprise surprise, serving as Terrorist University for the latest generation of jihadists, some of whom will return home eager to show off their new skills. The Times has no quotes from the report; it was described generally to the paper by officials from three "different government organizations." The latest Newsweek mentions the same report and says CIA analysts refer to the Iraqi alumni issue as the "Class of '05 problem."
