• 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

• 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."

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 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.
