Today’s Zaman = ad hominem

14 Şubat 2011

Today’s Zaman’da Bülent Keneş Dani’nin National Interest’de yayımlanan makalesi üzerine bir yazı kaleme almış. Bu seviyesiz ve kişisel saldırıdan öteye gitmeyen yazı hakkında pek söyleyecek bir şeyimiz yok. Yazı, yazarını ve gazeteyi yeteri kadar ele veriyor zaten. Bu yüzden okumanızı hararetle tavsiye ederiz. Biz bir tek noktaya dikkat çekmek istiyoruz. Keneş’in makalesinde, Dani’nin yazısında Zaman’ın […]

In what can only be called a bizarre piece, Abdulhamit Bilici takes aim at Dani in Today’s Zaman, the English language edition of Zaman. The article is titled “What Will Harvard Tell Rodrik?” Mr. Bilici doesn’t say why he thinks “Harvard” should tell Rodrik anything at all – but he obviously would like to see […]

Emre Uslu is no more convincing in English than he is in Turkish

We see that Zaman, which has consistently published one-sided, misleading, and often downright wrong articles on the Sledgehammer case, has opened its English-language pages to Emre Uslu, the Taraf columnist. Uslu has recently written a series of columns on the case, pointing to what he thinks is evidence which contradicts our assertion that the CDs […]

In a WSJ piece on the Sledgehammer case that we had mentioned previously, we were surprised to see that Gareth Jenkins was reported as saying that Cetin Dogan should have been fired for insubordination. The WSJ has now published a clarification: “An article in the world news section Friday on the "Sledgehammer" trial of 200 […]

The Western media begin to smell something rotten

It is good to see (finally!) the Western media picking up on the problems with the Sledgehammer case.  Today’s reports by the Financial Times, Wall Street Journal, Southeast Europe Times, and Agence France Presse (AFP) all mention the anachronisms and other inconsistencies in the coup plot documents as raising doubts about the authenticity of the […]

The most significant court case in Turkey in at least five decades is about to start. Nearly two hundred retired and active-duty officers will be on trial for having plotted back in 2003 to destabilize the country through violent acts (including the bombing of mosques and the downing of a Turkish fighter jet) and to […]
