I have a new piece up at Al Jazeera responding to Sir John Chilcot’s massive report on the UK’s invasion and occupation of Iraq, accessible here.

Article in British Journalism Review about the New York Times’ New Torture Policy
I have an article just out in British Journalism Review, “Let’s Call a Crime by its Real Name”, scrutinizing the New York Times’ new editorial policy on use of the word “torture” when referring to US interrogation policy. Here’s a link: http://www.bjr.org.uk/data/2014/no4_stone.
Obviously this is a topical subject, in light of the Senate’s release of its Torture Report last week, and I’ll be following up with some more media criticism on this blog (including a look at how the Times and other outlets are deploying the t-word).
Stay tuned!
