Kristinn, Here is my nomination for the most uncovered story of the decade. It is the story of an elderly man in Kabul who, at the risk of death, spent a year making a rug for President Bush to express his gratitude for liberating the Afghan people from the Taliban. A rug merchant managed to get it brought back to the US through one of our special ops guys.

As best I can determine, the only coverage of this story has been in a little Illinois paper where the serviceman lives. The enemedia was not about to let the American people know that anyone in the world considers President Bush, in the elderly man's words, "Number One Champion."

Here is one of our military heroes, Grayson Gile, with the rug.

The Day in the Life of President Bush thread had great pics of that rug. It is beautiful and the story was a tear jerker.

What a lovely story - thanks for posting it.

The rug looks great. Hope the Pres. liked it.
