Manchurian candidate for Muslims

The Washington Post has been criticized for a story examining reports of Barack Obama’s “Muslim ties” — but the article’s editor says he is “a little puzzled” that readers didn’t recognize that the intent was to discredit those reports.

The article's editor is likely more worried about getting a fatwa than he is about the truth of the story.
