She went well beyond just telling a few 'little white lies' in the altruistic interest of "giving a voice to the voiceless". And she sure managed to put one over on the NYT's in the process.
So.....the next time that the NYT's tells you all about what the terrorists or a given politician are or aren't doing -- keep this one in mind.
