The New York Times fixes bad headline

December 05, 2009 3:58 pm ET by Eric Boehlert

The Times' original, Dick Cheney-friendly headline [emphasis added]:

How Obama Agonized Over Plan for 'Surge' in Afghanistan

The updated, more sensible headline:

How Obama Came to Plan for 'Surge' in Afghanistan

BTW, the article will appear in Sunday's print edition.

  Peter Baker, not Michael Gordon?
  
  Pete's in training, he'll be fully qualified Judy Miller/Michael Gordon soon.
