Compare headlines re: HALLIBURTON & lost radioactive material!
( A Halliburton Co. shipment of radioactive material that landed in New York in October was lost en route to Texas and was not found until Wednesday, when it turned up in Boston. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission said it was not alerted to the missing shipment until Tuesday. If bad guys got hold of this, that wouldn't be good," said Rebecca Christianson, an applied physics professor at Needham's Franklin W. Olin College of Engineering)

So what's the pertinent point? Notice any subtle difference between the American "free press" headlines and those from overseas?

AP: Lost Halliburton nuclear material found
Reuters: Missing Halliburton radioactive package found
Arizona Daily Star: Lost radioactive shipment found in Boston, not Texas
Houston Chronicle: Missing radioactive material found
L.A. Times: Radioactive cargo is lost, then found in Boston
New Mexican: Radioactive material lost by Halliburton turns up in Boston
Chicago Tribune: Halliburton's lost radioactive cargo is found

Sydney Morning Herald: Halliburton keeps nuke loss a secret
CBC News, Canada: Halliburton kept quiet about missing radioactive material for 4 months
TheAge/Australia: Halliburton keeps nuke loss a secret
