Steven Lee Myers leads off his “news analysis” this way:

Harsh interrogations and Guantánamo Bay, secret prisons and warrantless eavesdropping, the war against Al Qaeda and the one in Iraq. On issue after issue, President Bush has showed little indication that he will shrink from the most controversial decisions of his tenure.

With the decision to charge six Guantánamo detainees with the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and to seek the death penalty for the crimes, many of those issues will now be back in the spotlight. In an election year, that appears to be exactly where Mr. Bush wants the focus to be.

That seems a lot like an opinion to me.

Most respected newspapers refrain from placing commentary on their front pages. Yet the New York Times is, in terms of both self-restraint and respect, not one of those newspapers, in my humble opinion. You can read the rest and form your own.
