ping for a new editorial out of OU... (SPIN and PROPAGANDA ALERT)

Two interesting articles for everyone to read that I found yesterday...

The Muslim Student Association: A Wahabbi Front by Steven Schwartz (a Muslim) - orginally published on NationalReview.com Author Bio: Stephen Schwartz, an author and journalist, is author of The Two Faces of Islam: The House of Sa'ud from Tradition to Terror. A vociferous critic of Wahhabism, Schwartz is a frequent contributor to National Review, The Weekly Standard, and other publications.

How I made "Jihad in America" and lived to tell about it by Steve Emerson - Chapter 1 Online at the AIJAC Emerson is a former staff reporter for CNN... Book Excerpt mentions (among other things) a meeting of the Muslim Arab Youth Association (MAYA) that he sat in on back in 1992 in Oklahoma City, OK. Incredible information about the state of terrorists in America. (Thanks to Iris Blog for pointing out this link).

Now who would think there might be any motive for the OU paper to carry an article, editorial or otherwise, which marches in lockstep with the 'official' results of the investigation. Had the investigation revealed that there was/is an active terror cell on campus, no doubt Boren and the school paper would be vociferously decrying the investigation.

For the same reason camous crime is kept pretty darned quiet on campuses all over, mommy and daddy want to send their little nipper to a safe school. Not safe?--and the exodus begins.

No one would suspect that money would be a motive on the part of the school, far and beyond the take at the gate for football, but for research funds, tuition and fees, and those wonderful grants from private entities, industry, and alumnae.

Nothing to see here, move along folks.

Were there no accounts to the contrary, in this instance credible accounts from people who have been around this site for a while, and a number of official statements which simply do not flange up with the idea of a suicide, much less a lone suicide, then we'd all shut up and be on to writing vanities about the umpteenth tiddlywinks championship, or just carping about the latest SCOTUS pick.

The school paper echoes the administration's official stance? Geee... Whooda thunk?
