Jeff Zeleny of the New York Times alters story about Dover Air Force Base Photo-Op?

WilliamsBowtoObamaOnce again, Jeff Zelenyhas whitewashed a story in the New York Times. Originally, the New York Times reported Obama’s visit to Dover AFB and the arrival of fallen serviceman as:

The images and the sentiment of the president’s five-hour trip to Delaware were intended by the White House to convey to the nation that Mr. Obama was not making his Afghanistan decision lightly or in haste.

Aka, the New York Times basically admitting that the Obama appearance was a Photo Op. But suddenly, the quote from the New York Times changed posted by both Greyhawk at Mudville Gazette and Nice Deb both noticed the change :

The image of the commander in chief standing on a darkened tarmac, offering a salute to one of the soldiers, highlighted the poignancy of a decision he is facing.
