I didn't know this fact before reading the article. It's interesting that this young guy wanted to commit suicide by blowing himself up with a bomb he already had in his possession, but apparently wanted to make sure he was really, really dead by blowing himself up again with an amonium nitrate bomb. That's quite a 'suicide' plan.
Anyway, most Americans don't believe the ridiculous spin the media put on this (likely) terror attack. What I don't understand, however, is why Michelle didn't also attack the closed-lips government along with the lying-lips media.
The Bush administration has been closed lipped on everything from the Gore team trashing the White House before leaving to the fraudulent photos the Boston Globe ran from a porn site as "Abu Ghraib abuse".
It isn't always a "conspiracy of silence". This administration has been quiet about a lot of things. Why weren't they active in finding out who forged the National Guard memos?
They move forward and don't dwell on the past when they should.
I will add that both the left and the right try to (wrongly) claim that there have been no attacks on US soil since the 9-11 attacks. The left wants to push the idea that we are paranoid and that it was an abberation that we were attacked, we are only infringing on rights, waging war, and making people angry. The right (at least the administration) likes to be able to claim "it's working".
Unfortunately we suffered the anthrax attacks almost immediately after (and if it wasn't Atta's work, then the murderer is still at large, unless he accidently succumbed to his own weapon). And Charles Bishop/Bishra crashed a plane (and praised OBL) in Jan 2002. And we had the DC sniper duo, and the shoe bomber, and a mysterious plane crash on takeoff, and the LAX counter shooting...
How many other OU type local only stories have there been?
