I've actually been able to listen to his show today.

The Minnesota Twins? If private funds won't keep the franchise in Minnesota, that's too bad. I call it capitalism. ;=)

I'm a Twins fan from way back. First ballgame I ever went to, way before the HHH Metrodish.

This is a good idea, and I must commend Mr. Hewitt. I suggest that cumulative ratings for reporters be produced, so that we could rank a reporter on the cumulative treason index scale.

A numerical assignment made by averaging the rankings from readers for each story, and then averaging the average TI's for ALL of the reporter's stories, would be a handy way to spot those who are fighting the jihad against us.

It also would allow for redemption in the case of a reporter who just screws up, since a cumulative average would depend on many stories, not just one.

Now read today's Los Angeles Times piece, "Silent Men Speak to a U.S. Presence in Afghanistan," and e-mail your ranking of the piece.

It’s called the treason index.
10 on the index corresponds to Robert Hanson-like spying...
1 reserved for dummies like Barbara Kingsolver and Bill Maher.

This article has more detail than what should be published including what a VIP aircraft did carrying Rumsfeld to Pakistan!

U.S. Is Pushing to Open Bridge : Aid: Rumsfeld, visiting Central Asia, argues Uzbekistan's long-closed link with Afghanistan can be used to send food and medicine. Officials resist, citing Taliban presence on other side.

Rumsfeld flew from Washington to Moscow on Friday in the well-appointed military passenger jet he customarily uses. But on his visits to the countries bordering Afghanistan, he flew in a massive C-17 cargo plane loaded with equipment designed to repel heat-seeking missiles. The plane flew for about 10 minutes Sunday in Afghan airspace, crossing the country at its narrowest point on the way from Uzbekistan to Pakistan. The plane flew 39,000 feet above sea level, far too high to be in danger from enemy fire.

Plane Takes No Chances Coming Into Pakistan

On the way into Chakala air base in Pakistan, the Air Force crew flying the plane took no chances. They made what the Air Force calls a tactical landing, plunging from 18,000 feet to 1,000 feet in one minute and rocking back and forth on the way down to limit the craft's exposure to potential enemy fire. A U.S. helicopter was shot at over Pakistan two weeks ago.

I think the other article has potentially less info useful to the other side than this one!
