To their credit, the local lib'ral rag featured this story on the front page. As they should - 170,000 turning into 38 is a little difficult to reconcile with anything other than hysteria.
CNN often agonsizes. Struggling with their consciences as being Americans is their main occupation. Second is doing stories about media reports on stories, the role of the media, the media's role reporting on the media, on and on.
I watch CNN for 20 minutes every day to grasp an understanding of how the "other side" is playing the game. I saw this same agonizing story this morning, switched to Fox and heard the truth. CNN is amazingly, blantantly anti-Bush and anti-military.
