Letter to The New York Times on the use of Napalm in Iraq (August, 2003)


For several days now, a few news outlets - mostly overseas - have reported that the U.S. used napalm (actually, an "improved" version of it) in Iraq. Yet I have seen no mention of this in the New York Times, and a search of your site for "napalm" in the last 30 days comes up blank. Surely the U.S.'s recent use of a chemical weapon - that's what it is, isn't it? - is worth reporting, especially since the occasion of the use is so rich with irony.
