Why the 'L.A. Times' Called for Iraq Pullout

Few American papers of any size have called for a reversal of course in Iraq, so it was a shock to see one of the largest, the Los Angeles Times, take this step recently. How does the editorial page editor explain this sudden change in heart -- and will others finally follow?

When I opened my local paper (The L.A. Times) and saw their editorial "Bring Them Home", I was as surprised as Editor and Publisher is. And just as delighted.

Following the Times’ example, perhaps other papers will urgently feel a "moral" need to re-assess the facts -- and “take stock” of their positions on the war.

Now if only trigger-happy Commander Guy would feel a "moral" need to re-assess...well, everything he's ever assessed in the first place.
