One expecting news on The Jakarta Post's "People" page
on Aug. 6 would have been disappointed by your article on Kobe
Bryant, since this Associated Press piece by Eddie Pell was
actually filed and published on July 9 in newspapers and websites
across the world.

The article's claims that Bryant has not been charged with any
crime, or that Kobe has made no public statements regarding the
events of June 30 in Colorado, were true when written, but not at
all today. Bryant in fact was charged in late July with felony
sexual assault and did make a widely reported public
statement about the matter soon thereafter.

Especially on a day when much of the Post rightly
addressed the bombing at the JW Marriott Hotel, it seems
to me foolish to devote so much space to a month-old
piece rendered inaccurate by the passage of time.
