The ASSPress is just getting around to a story that's been kicking around conservative sites for weeks. (So what's news?) We haven't bothered with it because we knew the outcome, and it's tiresome to rail about such predetermined things. We see the point to both sides; nevertheless this is Yale, and that fact alone imbues its actions with a certain cowardice.

Fareed Zakaria, editor of Newsweek International, a world affairs columnist and CNN host who serves on Yale's governing board, said he told Yale that he believed publishing the images would have provoked violence.

"As a journalist and public commentator, I believe deeply in the First Amendment and academic freedom," Zakaria said. "BUT...." (Both-sides-to-the-issue overemphasis added)

We have not taken Fareed seriously in some time, and we will never take him seriously again, except if he's ever fool enough to justify his wishy-washy hypocrisy, fool enough though he is.
