Whatever the reason for spiking this story, whether for "good" motives or "bad", the very fact that this is happening is significant.

What's amazing is that we're seeing this here, but don't see it in many other cases where it would seem at least as well justified.

Whatever the explanation, the very fact that this is taking place has profound implications for those who are concerned about global control of commercial media.

If news can be blacked out for something like this, it can be done for anything.

That's much bigger news than the bombing itself.

As with most stories, I found it here first on FR.

I seem to recall 4 refinery explosions about the time of the first gulf war. I only caught glimpses of the Montana west and east coast "accidents", I was very aware of the one in Pasadena/Houston. It made page 4 in the next days paper, the others made it waaaaay further back.
The media critter has been caged before, many times!
