This article, 'I saw papers that show US knew al-Qa'ida would attack cities with aeroplanes', needs to be looked at for several reasons. This one, on the same subject, came out last week, "We should have had orange or red-type of alert in June or July of 2001". It was reported at Salon.com last week. Salon is a U.S. media outlet, albeit a subscription based liberal internet daily magazine. But again I say this, it was reported last week. No mention of it in the mainstream U.S. press. Today it comes out in the British press. I take a quick check of the majors--CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox--and none of them mention it. You can check this Google news search, Sibel Edmonds, and see that none of the major media are picking this up, yet. So what does this say about the media? From this it should be obvious that we no longer have a media in this country. They were given this story by someone else and still didn't report on it. They didn't even have to do the investigation of an investigative story and they still won't report on it. Look, if the media won't do it's job in this country then we will have to do it for them. So why don't they report it? You never rat out a friend. Plus war is good for business.
