Why is the Polonium Spy Poisening getting so little Press Connecting Dots? |
|
Edited on Fri Dec-01-06 08:20 PM by KoKo01
It's "mentioned briefly and reported with incredulous wonder" by the likes of Blitzer and his ilk in the Cable/Network Media...and Yahoo updates us online and the Brit Papers do a little more for depth...but is it just ME that wonders why this seems to get less intense coverage than who is running for US President in '08?
What's going on with this. It should be HUGE NEWS! The Implications are HORRIBLE!
No? :shrug:

3. You haven't checked British media lately, have you? |
|
There, it IS huge news, a press hysteria/ feeding frenzy. That might be because it occured on British soil. And either way, it's not going to affect US forces in Iraq or other major issues of direct national importance.

6. I did mention that in my post...British Media! I'm talking about Here that there's |
|
so little "connecting dots" when we've had here in the US every minor incident blown up and yet this is HUGE and our media sort of reports it like a traffic accident in Alaska. :shrug: At least that's how I see it that most Americans see it as "a blip in passing that happened "somewhere over there."

8. That was Valerie Plame's job, and the job of her Brewster-Jennings |
|
network of covert agents/contacts around the world--keeping track of things like polonium, preventing illicit movement of WMDS, so that accidents, or murders like this, cannot happen. It was a counter-proliferation network.
But they outed her (7/14/03) and her entire network (7/22/03). It is amazing that Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld are not on trial for treason, for doing that. It really was treason. It put us all in extraordinary danger. And we are seeing the results--proliferation of dangerous materials all over the world.
Plame/BJ probably got onto a Bush Junta scheme to plant nukes in Iraq, after the invasion, to be "found" by the US troops who were hunting for them--as their phony justification for the war, to cement Bush's and Blair's political positions. That's my guess. And that's why they were outed--because they foiled that nefarious scheme.
