SPIEGEL: One of your best reporters, James Risen, said in a speech that the mainstream failed after 9/11. Do you agree? Baquet: Yes, absolutely. The mainstream press was not aggressive enough after 9/11, was not aggressive enough in asking questions about a decision to go to war in Iraq, was not aggresive enough in asking the hard questions about the War on Terror. I accept that for the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times. SPIEGEL: Give us one reason why the next Edward Snowden should approach the New York Times. Baquet: We would show the next Snowden that were more willing than any news organization to cover the story. And we have the bodies, the brains, and, I would argue, the guts to publish it.
