Everybody Watch Frontline Tonight!
http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/sleeper/

CPB ain't perfect, but at this moment it's the most objective of large media we have. I'm sure this Frontline will have some holes in it. Find the holes and let them know you want you want them to dig deeper.

Sharing truth has been perverted by extremists as "liberal media".

1. The Lackawanna Six
I totally forgot about them. Thanks for the heads up, this should be interesting.

2. Okay, I watched and was disappointed
There was a timid attempt to point out that some of these guys were probably caught up in something they never intended to get into, and that the regime would never admit they over-reacted.

But the average person who had not followed the story would probably not even see that. They would just buy the better safe than sorry argument rather than worry about constitutional issues of detaining American citizens without real cause.

3. so it wasn't just me....
It really didn't have anything remarkable to say, overall. It seemed to be a tepid endorsement of the Patriot Act.

But what stood out, and what I can't make sense of, is the significance of the interviewer repeatedly asking the question: "Do you know what happened to Derwish (sp)?" Two of the people, one of whom was Tom Ridge (the other was an FBI agent), when asked, both took a LONG pause before answering -- a strikingly long pause. What were they thinking about during this very long pause? Tom Ridge finally responded that he knew that Derwish (sp) was dead, having been killed by a missle shot from a CIA Predator drone, at the order of the White House.
