The New York Times has a critical in today's paper:
“My experience leaving Tel Aviv was by far and away the most unpleasant encounter I’ve ever had with airport security officials in the decade,” said Matthew Yglesias, a blogger with the Center for American Progress who said it took three hours last month for him to get from the initial security check at Ben-Gurion to the food court. “As best I could tell, things went pretty smoothly as long as you were Israeli, traveling with an Israeli, or traveling with some kind of well-established tour group.”
The blogger in question does not work at the Center for American Progress, as the New York Times erroneously reported. Indeed, he's a blogger for the Center for American Progress Action Fund, which "transforms progressive ideas into policy through rapid response communications, partnership with other organizations, legislative action, and grassroots and political advocacy." When TWS made this same mistake not too long ago, a legal assistant for the Center for American Progress emailed to say, "We hope you will keep the distinction between these two organizations in mind in the future." We have not forgotten!
