The WaPo home page link only says "Soldier Held After Grenade Attack" but the article is about a soldier's death (just checked home page again to make sure).

Also the link has no prominence on the home page-surprising for such a big story. It's almost as if they don't want anyone to find it or look at it.

OTOH, Bob Woodward's "blockbuster" story of how the "War Began Earlier Than Expected" gets the huge font. Go figure.

They need to report that the UNKNOWN soldier was transferred to Levenworth, when in reality he was shot and burried in an unmarked dune, after his former commrades have a go of this piece of s**t.

CNN is talking to an "embedded" reporter from the NY Times who was with the 101st and saw the whole thing go down. He just reported friends of this traitor said he's been acting strange lately.

He also has a history of getting in trouble.

Jim Lacey is the reporter I believe.

WaPo has been out there by itself with this story for the past 90 minutes, which is odd, considering how big the story is. Hope I didn't make a mistake by posting (of course the mistake would be theirs).

And the TV footage should be beamed to every corner of the world with a caption that reads: "This is what we do to Muslims who kill Americans."
