To me, the biggest mystery is why big MSM (networks and big city leftist rags) isn't covering this story and connecting the readily available dots. You'd think they'd be all over this story like white on rice. How many days did the NY Times feature Abu Grhaib on the front page? It's not like the MSM is going to be mum because Bush asked them to. Maybe he asked them to shout this story from the rooftops, LOL!
Anyone got any ideas?
They are ignoring this because it didn't happen in New York City. This happened in some redneck town out west. They have not been threatened or inconvenienced so therefore, life goes on.
Same pattern for the DC snipers and other acts of domestic terrorism. I think in this case, the story is muted because it isn't useful to paint the administration as ineffective. When there is a bigger attack that can't be ignored as terrorism, the fangs will come out.
I think if the events of 9/11 involved only 1 plane, the public would be told it was a mechanical malfunction or whatever suits - anything but a successful attack.
I still have more questions than information. For example, on what the Office of Homeland Security said was thin information, the New York Subway are cleared and 39,000 police officers mobilized. The Oklahomans are left in the dark, despite the fact that there seems to be an abundance of terrorist acitivity eminating directly from the mosque Mr.Hinrich was seen in attendance. Mousauii, Oklahoma City Bombing of the Murrah Building, the connection to 'third bomber'.
Why are New Yorkers given information with which to make informed decisions and the heartland were given lies by Boren?
Nope, the reasons for the silence are economic, not political...

This Hinrichs story isn't sexy enough for them. There's too many "what-if's" ... when all it takes is a little investigative work to find the true story (I mean, really, how hard is that?). Just look at what that Oklahoma TV station has uncovered in the past few days. Newspapers are dying, and they know it.
