A local journalist corrects me. I had wondered why the Albuquerque Journal ran a Dallas Morning News story on the 9/11 Commission rather than an account from AP or Knight-Ridder. Turns out that Knight-Ridder supplied the Dallas paper’s story.
Sorry.
Incidentally, on re-reading my item, I see I could have written more clearly and succinctly. Like this:
"The story the Journal chose highlighted a fresh but academic revelation – that 9/11 was once a bigger plot. I would have chosen the tired but significant element – they found no evidence Iraq was involved with al Qaeda in 9/11."
Hey, everybody needs an editor.
