Four Iraq War Vets Detained at Pentagon
Four veterans of the current war in Iraq and one supporter (a
total of five young men) were detained at the Pentagon today
after they attended an open house and left behind flyers providing
information about the lethal effects of depleted uranium.

Hmmmm.
Google News turned up TWO, count 'em, Two, hits for 'Iraq War Vets
Detained'.
A three day old story about war protests.
The *NYTimes* was *NOT* one of them.
"Where IS the NYtimes?", should be the question the NYTimes asks it's
corporate self.
These folks had to *publicise* their own arrests!
(Warning: Vicious 'left-bashing' follows. I *have* installed the
flameproof britches.)

For that matter Where's the so-called 'left'?

On September 5th, we launched a non-partisan camp for peace,
democracy, and the restoration of the rule of law. Camp Casey moved
from Crawford, Texas, to Washington, D.C., to create a larger camp
focused not only on ending the war but also on righting injustices
here at home and on holding accountable the Bush Administration and
Congress. Here's the schedule of what's happening each day from now
till September 21st. Here are free rooms and rides. If you can send a
bus and need help paying for it, ask us. If you need help filling it,
post it on the board. In Spanish: Campamento de la Democracia.

Simple... Cindy Sheehan doesn't fit the media's 'frame' job, or the
American so-called 'vanguard' [grrr woof woof] left's agenda .
Visualize one big group narcissistic rallying chant:
"My Way Or The Highway!
My 'Vanguard' can beat up your 'Vanguard'!
Me!
Me!
Me!
A bunch of screaming ME!ME!s who bitch moan whine, but would never
sacrifice status, social mobility.... nothing. [spit on carpeted floor
in disgust]
