Liberia

• August 19 --
The Naked News
After working so hard to get U.S. troops into Liberia, the Times oddly
buries Tim Weiner’s entertaining story on the Liberia peace deal, devoting much
of the front page to a week-old story about a nude hiker.
• August 6 -- Times Promises Warm
Liberian Welcome for U.S. Troops
Wednesday’s Times continues trying to coax the U.S. into Liberia, with
visions of welcoming natives.
• July 30 --
Yankee Come Here!
After lamenting the “rush to war” in Iraq, the Times wants U.S. troops in
Liberia yesterday. The headline to Somini Sengupta’s story from Monrovia is
headlined: “Oh, if Only the G.I.’s Would Come Marching In.” She also suggests
the U.S. wasn’t wanted in Iraq.
