Herodotus had a lot of facts, but he only used facts from his opinion. He was very biased and dramatic. He exaggerated a lot. This article is about a specific girl and it is her story. It is written in someone's opinion.
Thucydides article: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/01/us/01gitmo.html?_r=2&ref=
The writer of this article was not biased. He supplied information from both situations, just like Thucydides. He just told straight out facts.Thucydides wrote with general facts, but used opinions from both sides of the situation.
Nice distinction between the two.
