GREYHOUND BUS COVERAGE:

I think the handling of this by the Press is an excellent
example of manipulated news:

-- the attacker dies in the crash
-- quite quickly after the event the official word is that
this is NOT a terrorist attack

Even the casual observer with no opinion one way or another might ask:

"If the man is dead, how do you KNOW (quickly after the event) that the man was NOT associated with terrorists?

It's very reminiscent of the press handling of the downed
Soviet airliner. The U.S. authorities very quickly said
that it was a missile (quoting the model #), and where it
came from.

Are we supposed to believe that US satellite monitoring is
so good that it picked up the movement and read the model
number from the device while enroute?

Maybe this IS possible. Can somebody say?

Namaste!

Jim
