Great find...but he Post's Editorial Staff can't have it both ways. The stand Against Apple post is the most recent so it looks as though the Editorial Board has seen the light.
The author of your link isn't the editorial board.
Washington Post, that liberal rag sides with the FBI.
Cook's political correctness is simply a marketing ploy to make Apple appear more secure than Samsung. If there is blood shed as a result of Apple's obstinance it will fall directly on Tim Cook.
Did you read the article you linked? The author does NOT side with the FBI. The argument presented is that Apple is doing the right thing, but doing it in a way that may be counter-productive,
Chiming in on the Apple-FBI encryption debate, Rev. Jesse Jackson on Thursday came out in opposition of the U.S. government's order demanding Apple create an iPhone encryption workaround, while praising CEO Tim Cook's fight for civil liberties.

How much anyone wants to bet that if the iPhone, the FBI wants to break into, was owned by a White police officer suspected of making racist jokes, JJ would be on the other side of the table.
Uh oh, I might have to change my mind now and side with the FBI.

Wow. This is actually worse than the "anti-urban" comments that accompanied Apple buying beats a couple of years back. Add that in with all of the class/culture attacks on Android users in general (and some of the attacks on the heritage of Lucy Koh, the judge who presided over the Samsung vs. Apple trial) and just ... wow. Well now.
Unlike Dr. King who tried to shake us down to the base of our souls with strong moral arguments, Mr. Jackson attempts to co-opt and usurp Dr. King's memory to shake us down financially.
JJ is however just slightly more palatable than the sharp-shooter slicker Sharpton clown though.
