16 killed including Americans but mostly Italians, 50 hostages.
I haven't heard it anywhere on our media. This stuff is really getting out of hand in SA.

1. Wow. I had not heard anything about it. But I have been listening
to AAR and on GD all this evening. Thanks for the link.

2. having just started reading The Republican Noise Machine, I'd have to say
it's no surprise. This latest ME crisis does not enhance the good news coming out of the region. However, it certainly would punctuate the pope's chastisement of bush today.

The R's contortion of the media into a propaganda tool for their own gain is antithetical to democracy.

3. This looks like a replay of last weekends events. I don't think this
is new but a rewrite of last weeks events.

6. I think you are right. It's a mistake. June 5 fighting is in Jeddah.
I think that the Al-Jazeerah posted the wrong story under the new heading. Whew!!! I am glad it isn't as bad as originally thought.
