WHAT?

Rumsfeld offered to free Saddam: Report

Got the heads up from First Draft who got it via TalkLeft .... Jeez I luvs the internets ...

Ok where is the outrage I mean really ..... WHERE IS IT? Don't see any mention on CNN. Nope nada ... MSNBC? Nope but they DO have a story about evolution going on trial I guess that's more important than the Secretary of State trying to do back room desperate deals with the devil, huh?

Seems like NO mainstream media is covering this yet. It appears you need to go offshore to read about it. A google search shows that more than one media outlet is covering this internationally. It's only a matter of time til it gets picked up here.

I dunno, but if this story is true it seems too big to sweep under the carpet ... I would have thought it might warrant at least a mention. That said I am sorta hoping that their continued silence means they have not yet verified the story to their satisfaction .... I just hope they ARE investigating it. I would hate to think they are willfully ignoring it ... but that's where my head is at right now ... and that's a sad commentary on what I think of today's media.

[update] It appears the claim was made in an arabic newpaper and cites anonymous sources. Now I have no idea if the story is true or a fabrication but the fact that an arabic newspaper is making such a claim most certainly IS news and surely warrants further investigation .. I expect them to get right on it ... er ... sometime anyway ...
