Italy breaks up terrorist plot against the US

Italy has foiled a terrorist plot that would have made 9/11 look like child's play. But you wouldnt know this unless you picked a paper from China, Australia, Italy, Englend, etc...in fact, if you would have picked up a paper anywhere but in the US this past week, you would know about this! This type of omission should not shock me at this point - but it still does.

It is not that there is an orchestrated media conspiracy - with the media ring leader calling up all outlets each night and telling them what to run - I don't believe that. But the fact that 90% of all journalists, editors, publishers are (by their own admission) liberal ensures that we will not get unbiased coverage.

It is interesting that Italy used wire taps to break this plot. The very same tactic that Bush is under fire for. It would be unmentionable for the Times to run a story hailing the effectiveness of wire taps to stop terrorism!

The story.
