New York Times Quietly 'Edits' Chabad Mumbai Theft Story, Apparently To Benefit Chabad

In a highly suspicious move, the Times removes content that implicates Chabad in the theft of millions of dollars but does not issue a correction noting that change.
------------------------
The New York Times' original story published Wednesday on the alleged theft by Chabad of millions of dollars raised to rebuild Mumbai's terror-ravaged Chabad House contained the following paragraph:

Indian newspapers have reported that Mr. Holtzberg’s camp has also criticized Chabad-Lubavitch for mismanaging money that was donated for the center’s rebuilding, a charge that the group called “outrageous and absolutely false.” The group said it has raised $1.6 million in donations, of which more than half of will go toward Moshe’s upbringing and the rest will be used for the renovation and maintenance of Nariman House.

Indeed, Google's cache of the Times RSS feed preserves the original wording. Please click to enlarge:

The Times' new version of the article is missing that wording. Instead, the paragraph now reads this way:

Indian newspapers have reported that Mr. Holtzberg’s camp has also criticized Chabad-Lubavitch for mismanaging money that was donated for the center’s rebuilding, a charge that the group called “outrageous and absolutely false.”

Missing is the following sentence that says how much money Chabad itself claims to have raised and what Chabad itself says it promises to do with that money:

The group said it has raised $1.6 million in donations, of which more than half of will go toward Moshe’s upbringing and the rest will be used for the renovation and maintenance of Nariman House.

The Times does not list this change as a correction. Instead, in light gray type at the bottom of the article it says the following:

A version of this article appeared in print on November 25, 2010, on page A8 of the New York edition.

It's quite believable that NY times have Chabad bearded crows supporters; but it can't justify editing this story!!
