I remember the deafening silence by the media when this Jordanian chemical plot was first announced. I doubt this story will change anything.
Isn't it amazing though, this guy is being tortured within an inch of his life, but he gets to use the phone to call his attorney???!!!! Shame on our military, why are they letting terrorists phone attorneys?
It doesn't fit with the liberal cause of destroying the President and the United States, so it is a non-event.
I recently attended a conference on democracy in the Middle East, and one presenter who recently returned from Iraq said that reporters sit in their armed hotels and pay "stringers", who are locals, to bring them back stories. He said the stringers learned quickly that the money is in the bad news, as that was all the "reporters" were willing to pay them for.
Columnist Robert Novak, also there as a presenter, noted that had Clinton done the same thing President Bush has done in Iraq he would be receiving praise as the greatest liberator and humanitarian of our age.
