Further to the earlier post here on the Times' nasty obituary of Fouad Ajami, Mike Doran notices that the Times even got the title of one of Ajami's books wrong. It was The Vanished Imam: Musa al Sadr and the Shia of Lebanon, not, as the Times has it, "The Vanishing Imam." Minor point, perhaps, but confirms the lameness of the overall treatment. The only thing vanishing is whatever credibility the Times had left on this one, which was not much to begin with.
A Twitter account that appears to be created by Fouad Ajami's son Tarik commented, "crappy obit, and I'm a raving liberal."
I'm not one who thinks that an obituary needs to airbrush a person's faults, but this Times obit went beyond even-handed, all the way to hostile.
Update: For a corrective, see Michael Mandelbaum's article in The American Interest, particularly the final paragraph.
