Some European officials suggest Israel was responsible for the recent disappearance of The Arctic Star, which was recently found in the English Channel. There's no proof, but the incident raises a lot of questions.
I'm struck by the way Time handled the story — raising questions about Israel and Russia — in a responsible way. It pointed out what's known, acknowledged what isn't, and quoted people on the record.
All this without a splashy double-page spread tying in unverified claims (now denied) related to one incident 17 years ago.
Memo to Donald Bostrom, Jan Helin and Aftonbladet apologists: There are responsible ways for a journalist to raise questions in the absence of evidence.
