Good morning, PINZ!!!
Welcome to the party!!
(Wouldn't ya just know that absolutely NOTHING happened on my day-off, and now that I have to eventually go to (ugh) work today, this blows up.. Sometimes I think the gods hate me....;~) )
Sorry for the echo... should have known. ;-)
Good morning, all. This Friday's looking more like a Tuesday...
Bahbah, I heard a snippet last night of major movement in getting Shallit released. Did you see/hear that?
It's probably better for your nerves to be spared the adrenalin ups and downs...
Glad I caught you before there were only bird crumb remains...
No, pinz. The last thing I saw indicated there was no movement at all in efforts for this release. I hope the new information is correct.
Hmmmmmmmmm.......
Iran News Agency: "White House creates obstacle in visa issuance for Iran president"

White House creates obstacle in visa issuance for Iran president (Updates to add quotes)
Tehran, March 23, IRNA - The White House has created obstacle in issuing visa for Iranian president to take part in the meeting of the Security Council.
President mahmoud Ahmadinejad decided to go to New York to defend Iranian right at the Security Council debate on Iranian nuclear program on Saturday.
Deputy Foreign Minister for International and Legal Affairs Abbas Araghchi expressed regret at absence of cooperation on part of the US Administration for issuing visa for the Iranian president.
"Despite completing application formality for the visa and the US Administration officials promises to grant visa at the earliest possible time, the visa is not available for the time being. It should have been issued sometime ago," he said.
"It seems the US Administration is following its unilateral approach by visa refusal for the Iranian president. It is blatant violation of the consular undertaking of the UN host country in dealing with visa requests for officials of the United Nations Member States and another indication of the US ill-intention toward Iranian nuclear program."

Plus interesting speculation by HAL9000 - the original poster:
Looks like Ahmadinejad won't show after all? This is an obvious cover story.

This is from last week, not the latest news.
" Wait, you guys aren't moderates here are you? :-) "
Well -- we spend a lot of our time being 'moderately disgusted' (often escalating to ranting outrage..)
Does that qualify??
Welcome to our little corner of heaven, Stockpirate....
(FRmail or ping Knitting a Conundrum to be put on the pinglist...)
The UK should divert their presidents aircraft when he tries to fly to the US and take him to the UK!
Please add me to the ping list.....thanks
Morning, 4
Lots of moving parts in motion this morning...
Drink your coffee and get caught up......
;~)
I am the reason they invented spellcheck!
" (b) be writing what they were indeed told, "
There's a real good chance that this story would have been downplayed - or completely ignored - by the traditional media if the story had not come to light from a completely different source.
As it was -- it was a good hour between the original post, and the time the MSM reports started.....
My read is that this one is just too big to hide.....
