    Someone didn't bother to look inside the magazine.The Afghanastan article appears in the international section as a six page spread, even though it's not the cover story.

    Who is doing the spinning now? Next time do a better reporting job.

    Rob Edwards is himself as guilty of spinning as anyone else involved in this sad story.

    He should really make it clear that the radioactive waste is the luminous paint from the dials of scrapped aircraft instruments which were dumped on the beach many years ago.

    It's sad, because the rest of the world should know about Annie Leibovitz. When I was in the Peace Corps, the government sent us NEWSWEAK; now I wonder which edition I was recieving.

    If the war in Iraq was orchestrated (for underlying marketeering purposes, or whatever), then how much else in life is orchestrated for other underlying motives?

    That this sort of sneaky marketeering (in my opinion) got into government means it is the tip of the iceberg of other sorts of covert plunder, pillaging, commandeering, etc., for gain and/or other covert agendas.

    It is widespread to concoct lies to get what one wants and to control people. Now that this has spread into high level government, we are being forced to realize the phenomena of playing pious saint to appear trustworthy and God-like, while being a snake. It's Little Red Riding Hood all over again -- or the Wolf, rather, playing the meek and mind Grandmotherly role.

    There was something else I was going to say on this but I've forgotten what it was.

    I think that your comment is very valuable from a position of advocacy for victims of sexual abuse. But I do think that there is an added dimension given that the Republican Party has done its best to claim the mantle of being the ethical, moral, family-oriented, and pro-child Party. By claiming that moral superiority, they should be held accountable not just for the actions of Foley, but particularly for whatever cover-up or sweeping under the rug may have occurred.
