New York Times and Washington Post embarrassed by running Hamas Op-Ed

.............But it's not because they shouldn't have run the piece at all. No, it's the fact that each was mortified that it didn't have exclusive rights to the Op-Ed: http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSN2248322920070622?pageNumber=1.

The rhetorical question has been asked if these papers would have been so quick to run an opinion piece from Ayman al Zawahiri or Osama Bin Laden. Personally, I don't think that they would have hesitated for a moment.
