Actually I just watched several minutes of coverage by FNC. But you're right, I flipped to CNN and MSNBC after seeing your post(about 3 minutes past the hour), MiSrepresentNBC was back onto homeland issues, CNN blathering about the Westerfield case(perhaps a much more direct threat to CNN news people, given their 'morals' and proclivities).

FNC did give a good sense of the horror of the scene, with stark images of the charred bus frame, volunteers sifting through ashes looking for body parts(so all victims are buried properly within Jewish customs), and explanation that the bus was blown up in front of a prison holding Palestinian terrorists.

I say(with no sarcasm) pulll out the jailers and blow up the jail.

On FOX news they had to do "both sides" and so they had a Arab spokes"person" who was blathering the typical whining excuse about Israeli "settlements" as the root cause of the problem. He implied that Israel is still building their settlements in "palestinian" areas, and that's why these bombings continue. I know when Sharon first came into power, they did put up a lot of settlements, but I was under the impression that this building has stopped and many settlements have been turned over. What's the current status of the settlement situation ?? (I don't trust either pro-Arab or pro-Israeli sites to be entirely truthful)

It struck me as absolutely absurd that this bombing was supposedly in "memory" of the 1967 "war" against the "palestinian" people...didn't the Arabs (Egypt and Jordan ??) start this war and Israel was forced to defend herself and consequently whipped the Arabs' butts, which is what led to the whole "palestinian" refugee "camp" situation ? Weren't these "displaced palestinians" actually told to leave in '67 by their own fellow Arabs, and promised the "spoils of war" after Israel was driven into the sea ?? Umm...turns out they were a little over-confident and lost the war(that they started), so why do they have any "right" to the lands they now claim -- and why does the UN and the rest of the world back this claim as valid?
