Nuclear Fallout -- By: Mark Steyn

By webmaster@nationalreview.com (Mark Steyn)

Strange developments at the Iranian nuke talks:

>>>>A British nuclear expert has fallen to his death from the 17th floor of the United Nations offices in Vienna.

The 47-year-old man died after falling more than 120ft to the bottom of a stairwell. He has not been named.

He worked for the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, an international agency charged with uncovering illicit nuclear tests.

A UN spokesman in the Austrian capital said there were no "suspicious circumstances" surrounding the man's death...

Four months ago another UN worker also believed to be British fell from a similar height in the same building, it has been reported.<<<

Hmm. I'd advise Mohammed El Baradei's surviving colleagues to take the elevator, but then again the aunt of Kofi Annan's discredited sidekick Benon Sevan fell to her death accidentally stepping into an empty elevator shaft shortly before she was due to be questioned about the Oil-for-Food scandal. If you work at the UN, get a gig on the ground floor.

>> You mean the "liberal" press?

They recognize it could be them next time around. The media is liberal and cooperative, but they're not immune from being called on the carpet by Obama.

Next week, he could be attacking CNN.

O'Reilly had a Wash Post woman reporter, big name one(can't remember) she said at anytime a reporter could do a negative story on Obama and might attack that source. She said a lot of the liberal media is amazed at obama for attacking Fox, like he's Stalin

You mean the "liberal" press?

Yes, the center to liberal press.

Fortunately even they understand that any effort to filter any part of the media is the first step towards filtering more of it and eventually control the media.

Yes, the liberal part of the press acted in responsibility and the WH had to hold the horses and relent.
