There is more to this story. Who controls the past, controls the future, as we know.
As of about 8:30 PM EST on July 23, 2005, NY Times has replaced the story by David Stout quoted in the beginning of this discussion by another story on the same ruling, written by Linda Greenhouse.
As of 9:00 PM EST on July 23, 2005, the traces of the original story can still be found via the following
Google News search . The ZIP archive attached to this posting contains the saved Google News search result still showing the beginning of the original story. This Google News search result points to the same URL where the original story was published. As of 8:30 PM EST this URL points to the new story by Linda Greenhouse.
The new story uses an improved newspeak. I wonder if David Stout is an unperson now.
The original story has disappeared from the NY Times web site, but I have the printouts and I may consider posting the scans from them if there is an interest.
The story by Linda Greenhouse starts like that:
