On Saturday morning, August 28, the New York Times headline (bottom left column of page 1) says,

"Explosive Suggests Terrorists Downed Plane, Russia Says"

"Suggests"! Unless the NYT goes to press before the end of the business day in Moscow, this is gross understatement. Even The News Hour with Jim Lehrer clearly reported on Friday evening that the Russians concluded that at least of one of the two crashes was definitely terrorism. The News Hour had a ten-minute segment on the attack. And, of course, if one crash is terrorism, only the naive would continue to think at press time on Friday night that the second might not be. Why is the NYT soft peddling this story?

I've been wondering why the entire media has been soft peddling this story. Now that the second plane has been confirmed to have explosive residue in the wreckage the media seems to be picking the story up. It was a no-brainer from the first report that two planes dropped from the radar simultaneously. Again, people here in the U.S. see it as their problem - it didn't happen here. Well, if it happened there we can be sure they are still fixated aviation attacks and it's just a matter of time before they slip through our system.

Yup, these are the same people that are giving the Iranians nuclear technology. Does anyone see anything wrong with this picture?

Why is the N.Y.T. soft-peddling on the issue of terror attacks to bring down two planes?
The N.Y.T. is afraid that somebody comes to the conclusion that George Bush's actions prevented terror attacks in the U.S. since 9/11.
Think of where we went to fight a terror war, Patriot Act, active prevention and not reactive Kerry contemplations to fight terror.
Congress would have no problem to investigate and allocate blame...afterwards. Bush's unwavering leadership was and continues to be the key.

Because they want us to think that only our countries foreign policies can cause terrorists to attack -- us.

The Russian's couldn't possibly have the same problem with Muslim terrorists, or so the global dominant media would like us to believe, because they aren't like -- us.
