More News Unfit To Print

The United Nations Oil For Food scandal and its attendant bribery of John Kerry's favorite foreign leaders isn't the only huge news story being given the cold shoulder by the elite media. Al Qaida attempted a huge chemical weapons attack in Jordan recently. As many as 80,000 might have been killed had the terrorists not be caught first.

But, the big media has decided that it's not big news. Why?

"Perhaps the problem here is that covering this story might mean acknowledging that Tony Blair and George W. Bush have been exactly right to warn of the confluence of terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. Jordan's King Abdullah called it a "major, major operation" that would have "decapitated" his government. "Anyone who doubts the terrorists' desire to obtain and use these weapons only needs to look at this example," said Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer.

More details of the plot emerged Monday night with the dramatic broadcast on Jordanian television of confessions from the terror cell's leader and associates. The idea apparently was to crash trucks--fitted with special battering rams and filled with some 20 tons of explosives--through the gates of targets that included the U.S. Embassy, the Jordanian Prime Minister's office and the national intelligence headquarters. The explosions notwithstanding, the real damage was reportedly to come from dispersing a toxic cloud of chemicals, which included nerve and blister agents."
