Do you happen to have a source for the Rather quote? I have looked around and haven't found it. I'm surprised that he'd say something so controversial and it not be picked up by media elsewhere.

I was watching the show. I can't find a transcript of that portion of Rather's on-air time. But I know I heard it, and millions of others did too.

I saw a clip from somewhere, Dearborn MI, I think, the first day. I've seen nothing since. I believe the networks are deliberately NOT showing any footage of demonstrations in US so as not to drive Americans completely over the edge into burning Arab neighborhoods.

Next time I am in my local bar when the owner is there I will verify with him the story of Arabs celebrating in the bar at lunchtime on that day (story is, he threw them out.)

I stopped in yesterday at a Middle-Eastern restaurant I've been going to for about 10 years now, and the line, rather than being out the door, was non-existant. Place was nearly empty, & the staff seemed very subdued.
