Jeffrey Gettleman

2004

• July 26 -- Hussein's Downfall "Disillusioning" for Iraqi Artists?
Jeffrey Gettleman looks at Iraqi artists: "The war in Iraq has been especially disillusioning for young Iraqi artists, many of whom believed the American promises of freedom."

• April 12 -- The American-Killing Iraqi "Resistance"
Jeffrey Gettleman paints Iraq as "collapsing into chaos" and uses the term "freedom fighters" in a description of anti-American Iraqis willing to kill Americans.

• March 17 -- Offering the (In)Complete Story from Iraq
Jeffrey Gettleman's front-page story uses a photo of a blinded Iraqi boy as an emotional launching point for a piece on the accidental deaths of civilians during the Iraqi war. But what of the civilians who were tortured and killed during Saddam Hussein's 24-year thugocracy, ended by the Bush administration?

• February 16 -- Did Sanctions Ruin Iraqi Hospitals?
Jeffrey Gettleman holds international sanctions partly to blame for the ruinous state of Iraq's hospitals. Iraqi doctors would disagree.

• January 15 -- "Civil Rights Leaders" Tell Bush: Stay Away from MLK Day
Jeffrey Gettleman and Ariel Hart find anti-Bush racial animosity in Atlanta: "Many of Atlanta's civil rights leaders are outraged about Mr. Bush's planned visit to commemorate Dr. King's 75th birthday….It seems to have lifted the lid on long-simmering anger many blacks feel toward Mr. Bush. Some Bush policies, including tax cuts mainly benefiting those with higher incomes and cutting back on welfare-type programs, have alienated black voters, analysts say."

 

• November 3 -- Republicans in the Hood
In Louisiana for the governor's race, Jeffrey Gettleman compares the appeal of Indian-American Republican Bobby Jindal to that of former Klansman David Duke.

• August 25 -- “Some Critics” = One Times Reporter
Southern-based reporter Jeffrey Gettleman follows up on the Southern Gothic saga of Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore, who was suspended from the state Supreme Court for refusing to take down a granite monument of the Ten Commandments that he’d installed in the courthouse lobby.

• August 21 -- The Return of George Wallace?
Jeffrey Gettleman files two stories on the Alabama judge who installed a Ten Commandments monument at the state Supreme Court. In his early filing he compares the judge and his supporters to Alabama’s segregationist governor George Wallace. Later he finds an anti-religious activist to make the comparison for him.
