While we're on the subject of outstanding editorials

I have, in recent years, seldom seen an editorial effort from a major newspaper what I would describe as heroic. But this, from the International Herald Tribune, is clearly an exception. Doesn't the New York Times own the Herald Tribune? Is some kind of staff trade possible. We really need to hear more from people who aren't afraid to speak out in clear, unqualified terms on what is right and what is wrong, as well as who is responsible for what happens.
