No it isn't. This is not about why the events happened. It is about how one CIA operative mounted a brilliant operation to rescue a group of people from a hostile environment. It is all about facts, which is what journalism should really be about.
> Without providing this context, the piece portrays American diplomats in Iran as hapless victims. In fact, they were active participants in the machinery used to oppress the Iranian people.
Bullshit. Not one janitor, clerk attendant and marine soldier that worked on the embassy took part in any oppression of the Iranian people. Two wrongs don't make one right, and saying that the attack was in someway justified is just disgusting. So what's next? 9/11 was justified because a bunch of ordinary people are part of the imperialist machine?
