Update on the TIME magazine WILLFUL DECEIT, PATENTLY FALSE STATEMENTS in their rah-rah SURVEILLANCE story....

Jane Hamsher and Glenn Greenwald are working on the story of TIME magazine publishing a JOE KLEIN article that was FULL OF PATENTLY FALSE statements, if not DELIBERATE LIES. Here an up-date on our previous post, in the form of an open letter by Greenwald to the editors of TIME:

Mr. Stengel - I'm working on a comprehensive piece for Salon about the process that allowed Joe Klein to publish BLATANTLY FALSE STATEMENTS in his FISA article. I'd like to interview you regarding this matter, including these topics:
*Who edited Joe Klein's piece?
*How could such unambiguously, factually false claims make it into the article, and who is responsible for correcting it?
*Does Time have the responsibility not only to correct mistakes like this but also, where it seems rather clearly to be the by-product of WILLFUL DECEIT on the part of a source, describe how it was tricked?
Could you email me and let me know if you can talk and I can call you, or you can give me a call [phone number]. Thanks -
Glenn Greenwald
