"IT HURT, IT REALLY HURT:" The New York Times' dishonestly selective quotation from a letter by 2000th casualty Cpl. Jeffrey Starr draws this reaction from his girlfriend:
The girlfriend of a Marine killed in Iraq said she was devastated when she saw how The New York Times cherry-picked a letter her "first love" intended her to read in case he died.
"It was sad that we had to go through this some more. I was upset about what they took out of that letter," said an emotional Emmylyn Anonical, 22, whose boyfriend Cpl. Jeffrey Starr died in Iraq earlier this year.
