generalisation that covered all Arabs. It made no distinction that it was talking about some Arab states. Maybe that is some sleight-of-hand editing by the Express, but he is still responsible if his by-line is on it.
I agree with you that many Arab states are oppressive and have appaling human rights but I think the point is that that isn't what the article said.

After you submit copy the sub editor cuts it into whatever shape he wants. You don't get to review it until it's in print! If his original piece said something different to the published version how the hell's he supposed to do anything about it? His byline is not where the buck stops.
