>>> I read about the material being plagiarized, so, contrary to what you claim, it was covered. Was it blown into a a ten day front page scandal? No. Here's why. 1. Powell didn't plagiarize it. Someone else may have, but not Powell. 2. Powell didn't know it was plagiarized when he cited it. 3. Had Powell known it was plagiarized, he would have cited the original author instead, without changing the importance of the information. So you see, it was a non-story. There was no impact on the decision process that depended on citing the original author. <<< Fact of the matter was only the St. Petersburg daily newspaper printed the plageriarism story immediately after the news broke internationally. About four days later talking heads on television began talking about it. It never to the print it deserved here in America. I noticed you completely ignored the US spying on UN Security Council members' homes and offices. That story got no play whatsoever. Again, how come? Isn't it the duty of a free press to report such issues?
