Did you happen to see Fox & Friends this morning? They were despicable. They made the whole story into a big joke, calling it an "urban myth." Yet, I couldn't help but note, even on F&F, that they didn't exactly use facts to debunk the story--just the assertion by "some" people that it wasn't true.
I did see that report on F&F this morning and was pretty ticked about it. There used to be a time when reporters did something called research; now they just let bloggers and freepers do it apparently.
Everyone agrees the Wash Times published the information in 1998. F&F asserted thatteh same information was published by Time Magazine in 1996.
That's verifiable, i.e., is more than '"some" people that it [1998 leak was the first leak] wasn't true.'
F&F also went on to sepculate that what might have been leaked wasn't surveillance capability (which any reasonable person transmitting radio signals takes as a given), but was the ability to triangulate location from the transmission. IOW, bin Laden wouldn't stop using a satellite phone just because he can be overheard, but because the use might give away location information.
Did Eddy talk about her children? May be next time she will tell us about taking her precious son to a softball game where he hit a home run, and we should all yell: “ooooooooh isn’t that so nice…” Fox and Friends is a very stupid show and I watch them for less than 5 minutes per year.
