In my subscription edition of today's (Wednesday June 1) NYT op-ed
page, Thomas Friedman's column, "The Bin Laden Decade", includes this
sentence:

As the Arab leaders choked their people that much tighter, along came
Facebook, Twitter and cellphone cameras, which enabled those people
to share grievances, organize rebellions, lose their fear and expose
their leaders: "Smile, you're brutality is on Candid Camera."

Good news for people who are not looking forward to the Apocalypse:
this was corrected in the online edition, which now reads "...your
brutality..."
