No story / Only story
Hmm... I thought the Magnificent Luminous Gandhian Obama was going to get rid of all the trappings of "Cowboy Bush", those shadowy CIA establishments in various permissive countries.
As usual, Magnificent Luminous Gandhian Obama turns out to be a perfect continuation of Cowboy Bush. And on this particular subject, that's a good thing. Since the DC government long ago lost the guts to punish terrorists on American soil, these 'rendition' operations serve a useful purpose.
(On economic subjects, the seamless Bush/Obama continuation is a monstrously evil thing: China continues to steal the pitiful remnants of our economy, with the vig on the transaction going to Goldman Sachs. Grand Thief Bugsy Bernanke continues to lavishly reward his high-rolling bathhouse buddies at Goldman Sachs while punishing responsible Americans.)
Russia Today reports:
I'm basically happy to see us defending our secrets against journalists, even if we can't bring ourselves to shut down CNN and NYTimes for their home-front treason.
Nevertheless, the hypocrisy stinks to hell. We love to Strongly Condemn countries that supposedly treat journalists badly, including Russia. Since this jailing of journalists is done by the Magnificent Luminous Obama, our home-front "journalists" are dead silent. Nothing to see. No story here. If the exact same event had happened under Cowboy Bush, it would have been the ONLY STORY for the next 300 fucking years. ¶ 4:57 AM

Russia Today reports:
An RT crew was locked up in a US jail for 32 hours after they covered a rally near the so-called “school of assassins” in Georgia [Gruzya].
Correspondent Kaelyn Forde called the handling “brutal” and international organizations condemned use of police violence against members of the press. But despite all the outrage, the mainstream media has remained silent over the incident.
It started off as a peaceful rally outside a US training camp for Latin American military and police officers. What followed this nonviolent protest caught everyone by surprise: dozens were arrested. Police targeted journalists along with the activists.
