for those who think the new york times is a liberal rag

i got news for ya... is this liberal:

The NYT declares, "ACCORD IN HOUSE TO HOLD INQUIRY ON SURVEILLANCE." That's probably news to the intel committee chair, Rep. Peter Hoekstra, who makes such decisions. "This is not an inquiry into the program," said Hoekstra's spokesman. Though a Republican maverick on the committee said she's hoping for a real probe, the spokesman explained there will be a "comprehensive review" not of the snooping but of the FISA law that the snooping sidestepped: Hoekstra "wants to set up a process to move forward and look at the entire statute and ways to modernize it." No other paper sniffs the glue too and gives significant space to the "inquiry," "review," whatever.
