Marvin Kalb tells WSJ editorial page editor
Paul Gigot: "I think that the ["Fit and Unfit to Print"]
editorial that you ran, Paul -- and I say this, as you know, with total respect for you as a journalist -- I think it was dead wrong. I think you declared war on another American newspaper without due cause. It is mean. It is mean-spirited. ...I can tell you, flat out, that most journalists are very respectful of the rights, of the needs, of the soldiers. They are not going to run anything that they think is going to harm the American people or the American troops. I think we all know that. And it shouldn't be alleged or even implied, which is what you did, that this is not the case with the New York Times. That's so unfair." GIGOT'S RESPONSE: "All right, Marvin -- all right, Marvin. You get the last word here. Thanks for coming on."
