Since the gist of this bizarre correction ("Editor's Note") in today's New York Times is that the paper was given false information designed to hype up a supposed dissident crackdown in Iran, the NYT really should complete it and name their source, not least given the role of exiled opposition groups in hyping up the original bases of the current war in Iraq. Whether the source has any ties to "the new crazies" in the White House should also be explored.
UPDATE: Apparently the original (and now disappeared) photos were attracting unflattering detective work quite early on. See here, here, and here.
