Reply #5: The publisher of the Wall Street Journal

[bloom]

had a big "letter" in last Thursday's or Friday's paper that was talking about among other things - that they do honest reporting. But that their editorials reflect the perception of privileged people (because that is their readership).

She also implied but did not say outright that the paper would not say anything that would insult the position that business has it's own rules of morality.

It was also opposite two editorials that justified torture. Including "Too Nice for Our Own Good" By HEATHER MAC DONALD

To succeed in the war on terror, interrogators must be allowed to use carefully controlled stress techniques against unlawful combatants. Stress works, say interrogators. The techniques that the military has used to date come nowhere near torture; the advocates can only be posturing in calling them such. These self-professed guardians of humanitarianism need to come back to earth. Our terrorist enemies have declared themselves enemies of the civilized order. In fighting them, we must hold ourselves to our own high moral standards -- without succumbing to the utopian illusion that we can prevail while immaculately observing every precept of the Sermon on the Mount.
