I’m still digging around in Michael Yon’s blog and finding gold. You have to read this stuff. This below is about the Zarqawi-letter. I included this in the “Bill of Rights” category because of a growing concern (mine) that the “Media” is manipulating the outcome of this event(the war on terror). More later on that later.

“Even CNN couldn’t grasp the importance of the letter. They ended up giving more coverage to the impending E-Bay auction of Jennifer Aniston’s old love letters than to the missive in which the top Al Queda leader in Mosul writes to the second most wanted man in the world, and describes in amazing detail the weaknesses and impending collapse of the terrorist network in Mosul and surrounds. Only then, did the military ask if I wanted to write about the letter.

Every one, even a “higher up” deserves the benefit of the doubt, and should be entitled to one mistake. But how many times, and how many major stories have to be mangled into meaninglessness before someone connects the cables and lets the information flow in a direction other than down the mainstream media drain?”
