It's a complicated issue, I think, about how much media silence is ideal. We need informed voters, on the one hand. We need secrecy on the other hand. Your post on 217 is enlightening. And I understand very well how the old media could blow it if this suicide bomber report isn't handled properly.

At the same time, we need occassional wakeup calls. That is an absolute must. The fact that the wife of a terrorist pardoner is so popular should be cause for concern about just how informed voters are.

There must be a happy medium out there.

Was thinking about it this morning.....The only reason I can think that the FBI/MSM would want to keep it quiet is if there is a MAJOR investigation going on and they don't want to tip the upper levels off.....IOW Play dumb for awhile to capture the entire snake. Never know who it might lead to, particularly if they think they are getting by with whatever they are doing.

It might also be a situation where to bring them in would endanger some of our "methods of enlightenment". ...
