The very fact that we, who are among the most informed Americans, are not completely certain where the cash was found tells us that there has been no drumbeat in the media about this.
Today's NYT found a little space in the bottom of the right column on page 1 to have a 1 column headline saying "Congressman Sought Bribves, Indictment Says." Does this imply that he didn't actually receive any bribes???
The top right story is about war crimes charges being thrown out for 2 Guantanamo detainees. This is what constitutes victory for the NYT, I guess. Next to that is a story about the blurting out of abscenities on the airwaves. Its subhead is "If Bush Can Curse, So Can Anyone on TV." I hate the NYT. Sentence one starts with a reference to President Bush and Vice President Cheney blurting out vulgar language. I think that Ex42 was a habitual user of vulgar language. GWB and Cheney are each known to have used a single vulgarity that they got on tape and they should be the lead in the story, as if the case was about them. .....no bias in the DBM....

Did the story mention that their charges are being thrown out because Congress changed the law last fall from “enemy combatant” to “unlawful enemy combatant”? Apparently every person at Gitmo who was indicted (or accused in preparation for the military tribunal track) will have to go through the process again to be identified as an “unlawful” enemy combatant.
There are dozens of articles available on the web about where and when the cash was found, many of which were posted and commented on right here at FR.
