“Therefore, as happy as many Israelis, many Iranians and some Americans may have been when Iran was attacked, it most likely violated the basic principle of non-intervention in the affairs of another state found in the UN Charter and at customary international law.” Read the piece
Only opinion columns and editorials are scored. Each piece is read twice by a language model, which records the author's own stance on a policy topic only where the piece argues one, with a quote that must appear in the piece. An author's position on a topic is the average of their pieces, weighted by the model's confidence. News reporting is listed but never scored.
