News you won't see on TV
More on the U.S. spying report, and how the cowering little lapdogs in the media rolled over once again for Commandant Karl:
"'It's a big story in Russia and it led the French news today,' said Martin Bright, the Observer's home affairs editor. Bright said that he had agreed to interviews with NBC, CNN, and Fox News Channel - and that all three had called and canceled. But the report that the U.S. is spying on U.N. Security Council members - and seeking allied intelligence agencies to do the same - has quickly spread throughout the world."

"What might be most telling about the episode, however, is not that the U.S. is spying on U.N. Security Council. Rather, the story is significant in that it reveals much about the way that the Bush administration has handled its foreign policy: clumsy or arrogant or righteous, depending upon your point of view, but indisputably alienating to most of the rest of the world. The media maelstrom the memo has set off as far away as Sydney and Moscow is indicative of how much the U.S.'s reservoir of goodwill has dried up." - from Salon.
