You'd almost expect something that lurid to get MSM attention. But then that might not help the anti-Bush movement.

You kidding me? Only if it can be blamed on an American, no matter how distant or indirect the line of blame. Then it would be front page for a solid month.

But Arabs perpetrating atrocities? No story. Which story do you remember from 1982, Hama or Sabra and Shatilla? I rest my case.

Remember the account I mentioned a few years ago, of dozens of foreign reporters crowded into Arafat's hq in Ramallah waiting for a press conference, when two policemen marched a bound prisoner into the courtyard and around a corner, stood him against a wall and shot him? Right in the presence of dozens of reporters? Not one of them mentioned it, except for Khalid Abu Toameh of the Jpost.
