Cowardly Newspaper

Attacks on Israel and its return engagement, and thwarted terror attacks from England may have clarified the struggle against Islamic fascism for some; or for those who already understood it, emboldened them to state it for what it is, as the president did. Yet some media people, like Chris Matthews, still seem genuinly surprised at any categorization of the root problem as a global fascism -- acting bewildered at the suggestion that a particular "beef" any Islamic group has with a perceived oppressor -- IS IRRELEVANT.

Of two local newspapers -- one has run news one could consider pro-Israel on the front page. The other is cowardly and instead ignores the issue, except for hiding a little blurb about protesting Israel's "invasion of Lebanon." I believe honesty is the best policy in this defining moment of history. But I won't hold my breath for integrity out of this bunch I know well.
