It tells me that "money talks, and BS walks".. It's no different than when Richard A. Clarke arranged for the Bin Ladin family to be evacuated on a private jet after 9/11. Seems someone in the Clinton administration had granted them Diplomatic status, along with the Diplo passports, that rendered them "off-limits" to any investigation of 9/11. historycommons.org But this is the kind of crap that goes on in ANY FORM OF GOVERNMENT. These are pretty serious accusations. It is not that I disagree with you, I am surprised that you are saying that corruption is part of the cancer in our government. But it's also the greatest rationale for having an free, and uncensored press at the heart of that democracy. Controlled by the few. I would not go that far. You might not called it censorship, but we get selective news on MSM. To get the full story, you need to know where to look. This is something that certainly does not exist with the Middle East. Hmm, I recall Donald Rumsfeld wanted to shut Al-Jazeera down. I wonder why!!! However, considering how "captured" our MSM has become by special interests (just look at the current Global Warming scandal which only Fox News seems to be reporting), it's not surprising that they would get "bought off" by some other interests. True, however, Fox did put the scandal out not because it has integrity, it put it out because it is bought off by the other side. Thus, I look for news from the BBC, Russia, China, etc. That's why there's the internet. God bless Al Gore for inventing the @ in of internet. ;0)
