I notice BBC.com has, as its lead story, an announcement concerning ex-Government official who are attacking Bush's foreign policy. [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/go/em/fr/-/2/hi/americas/3807139.stm[/url]

Then I turn to the Yahoo AP and Reuters listings for the US. Nothing about this at all.

Another sign that one has to get most of one's news from abroad.

I watch BBC World News, France 2 News, and Italian RAI News. There's no comparison whatsoever to American Zionist News. Not that the Euro news is perfect, but they just report the facts and do a much, much better job of presenting both sides. France 2 gives LePen a fair shake. They even had an interview with him in the studio. The things he says would never, ever, ever be heard on Faux News or CNN. The only American news that has a [I]glimmer [/I] of objectivity, IMO, is the News Hour with Jim Lehrer, ohterwise, American news is a disgustingly lopsided disgrace.

The LA Times ran it:

but Fox News won't have it until/unless the story gets too big to ignore, and then only to allow Hannity and O'Reilly to bash any perceived Bush criticism.

At any rate, it could be an indication that the neocons are testing out a new war president. See the listing of signers in the LA Times article.

It would appear that you don't read the Drudge Report. That's where I saw it.
