Remarkable
From Slate's Today's Papers:
Notably, the Times doesn't just get its information from officials, as the reporters also take a close look at a plot to carry out a suicide bombing in an airport in Jordan that was broken up. The investigation into the plot revealed a "connection between the people who planned the attack and militants in Iraq," says the NYT.
Not that this is news, but apparently it's now remarkable when reporters don't merely regurgitate the press releases of the administration, but actually investigate a story. What will we come to next? Teachers instructing pupils? Doctors treating sick people?
