The Boston Globe referred to Rev. Wright as a "buffoon".

Rosa Brooks of the Los Angeles Time patronizing refers
to Rev Wright as "deluded".

I think that people like her are psychologically operating
under a kind of "bullying effect". This like religion, where there are
certain things that you are compelled to say, and certain things that
you don't DARE say, for fear that you will become the target,
and be shunned, shunned, shunned by all.

It is like waving the flag - a compulsory obligation to make a
big public display of heaping mud all over someone like Rev Wright.

What ever happened to their rosy conservative propaganda about
"being respectful, even though we may disagree with opinions?" '
With Rev Wright, both conservative and "liberal" media alike waste no time
in name-calling and in breezy, contemptuous dismissal.

Genocide is made so much easier when nearly everyone is in
that state, where they don't dare believe, don't dare say.

The news media is insufferably smug about the question of
whether the U.S. government could have initiated the AIDS epidemic.

U.S.pumping oil from northern Iraq to Haifa, via Jordan
By Amiram Cohen

The United States has asked Israel to check the possibility of pumping
oil from Iraq to the oil refineries in Haifa. The request came in a
telegram last week from a senior Pentagon official to a top Foreign
Ministry official in Jerusalem.

The Prime Minister's Office, which views the pipeline to Haifa as a
"bonus" the U.S. could give to Israel in return for its unequivocal
support for the American-led campaign in Iraq, had asked the Americans
for the official telegram.
