Thanks very much for the links and info. It's kind of ridiculous that 99% of the information I've been able to get on this story has been from this thread. To the rest of the news services - I guess it's a 'non-story'.

FR is the cutting edge of the cutting edge. Always has been.

Everything on cable news has been sniper this, sniper that. Even when they have a major story elsewhere (they don't get much bigger, or sadder, than this) they refuse to give it one minute of airtime so they don't take away from the "experts" and the repetition of the same minimal news, over and over and over and over.

Hmmm.. I am becoming good at deciphering the babelfish translations. God help me.

But then I'm ALWAYS glued to FR; this time even more.
