You're probably right that the Times has "one of the best processes".

However, the Times also employed Judith Miller, which goes to show how little such processes are worth.

For those who don't get the Judith Miller reference.

"In the buildup to the 2003 war, the New York Times published a number of stories claiming to prove that Iraq possessed WMD. One story in particular, written by Judith Miller, helped persuade the American public that Iraq had WMD: in September 2002 she wrote about an intercepted shipment of aluminum tubes which the NYT said were to be used to develop nuclear material."
