The left leaning "Nation" Magazine story on the New York Times frontpage 09-11-01 before the attacks.

REDRANT:
THE FIRST COMMENT IS A DOOZIE.  THE NYT FRONT PAGE HAD A FAWNING REVIEW OF 
WEATHER UNDERGROUND BOOK "FUGITIVE DAYS' BY BARACK OBAMA'S "PAL" AND ALLEDGED BOOK GHOSTWRITER BILL AYERS.  AYERS BOASTED IN THE BOOK "I BOMBED THE PENTAGON (ACTUALLY AIDED AND ABETTED), MAYBE I DIDN'T BOMB ENOUGH".


AS THE FIRST COMMENT NOTED, THIS WAS SELECTIVELY OMITTED FROM THE STORY.  THE COMMENT IS PASTED BELOW FOLLOWED BY STORY LINK.  GREG LANG


"You omit a Page 1 review by Dinitia Smith of Bill Ayers' "Fugitive Days" with the headline "No Regrets for a Love Of Explosives; In a Memoir of Sorts, a War Protester Talks of Life With the Weathermen." I've kept a copy all these years. "I don't regret setting bombs," Bill Ayers said. "I feel we didn't do enough." No fluff there"
