NYT: A little misty for Islamic Courts rule
2007-04-29
It's an interesting story about Somalia; the NYT is disapproving of the individual "can-do" sprirt of perpetually anarchic Somalians, approving of the order imposed by the Islamic Courts, and calls the Islamist uprising a "grass-roots" effort.

#3  The Sulzbergers really want to drive the stock of the NYT Co. into the toilet, so they can buy it back and privatize it. Even their common stockholders now realize that many of the the humiliating mistakes of the newspaper were cynical efforts to crash the price.

And now that the courts have refused to stop the Sulzbergers from doing it, the other stockholders are boned.
