Actually, I'm fairly confident it was posted on FR (haven't done a search) but since the note wasn't very Islamic or AQish, FR, of course, had no interest in the story.

How could I have forgotten? Mad truckers must have piloted planes into the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon killing 3,000 Americans.

People were complaining that the Greenville SC incident was ignored by the major media; I was pointing out it was basically ignored by FR as well. Change the note from a complaint about trucking regulations to a note mentioning Israel or Allah and there would have been a several-thousand post thread on it.

Cmon, take any given incident posted to FR at all...any murder, child abuse, vial of ricin...and connect anything at all Islamic or an Arab-sounding name to the story and it will increase the number of posts to the thread by a factor of 10. If some horrible incident doesn't have the correct ethnicity or religion connected with it (of course, now on FR, a Mexican illegal alien will work as well as an Arab) in many cases it will pass without notice on FR.
