Correct, and that story was carried on the Wire, so everyone had the same story. I thought it was interesting that they was actually more to the story! Yesterday, the Father was interviewed by Sean Hannity and Shephard Smith, on The Fox Report! They were jumping all over him!

Absolutely nothing from FOX is news. It's all disinformation or propaganda. Along with the smattering of utterly useless trivia and red herrings to make the readership really stupid and malleable. -R.

Here is an assist in your research: <<< In 1958, a crucial year in postwar history, President Eisenhower advised his staff that in the Arab world, "the problem is that we have a campaign of hatred against us, not by the governments but by the people," who are "on Nasser's side," supporting independent secular nationalism. The reasons for the "campaign of hatred" had been outlined by the National Security Council a few months earlier: "In the eyes of the majority of Arabs the United States appears to be opposed to the realization of the goals of Arab nationalism. They believe that the United States is seeking to protect its interest in Near East oil by supporting the _status quo_ and opposing political or economic progress...." Furthermore, the perception is accurate: "our economic and cultural interests in the area have led not unnaturally to close U.S. relations with elements in the Arab world whose primary interest lies in the maintenance of relations with the West and the status quo in their countries...."
