Well, I saw the story on the BEEB last (?) night. I think one US network
also carried it. Nothing on the US nets about Africa and what is
happening there. Now that the US has sent in troops, we probably will
have "embedded" coverage on Africa (more newspeople than troops).

Take a gander at this story from
the BBC:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/2779069.stm

I suppose it is not totally off topic,
as it does involve some fairly intricate metalwork.
However, if any of y'all are involved in the
recreational creation of nuclear devices, I REALLY
want to know...mainly so I can consider moving
a BIT further away (*smile*)
In any case, here is a story with meat
and serious implications for America, and, it
receives NO publicity, and no discussion. Instead
we are bombarded by tedious discussions about relatively
trivial issues - Kobe, gay marriage, "Governer Arnold",
etc.
My question is this: Is this story suppressed
because the news organizations have finally given up
and admitted they are no different from Jerry Springer
in the sort of program they produce, or, is our government
using the questionable powers of the Patriot Act and other
leverage to keep the sheeple from hearing something
disturbing?
To quote Bill O'Reilly: "We'll let the audience
decide".

This story was covered by the NY Times in last Sunday's "Week In Review"
("Facing a Second Nuclear Age").

The proposed bombs are bunker-busters, which the BBC apparently didn't
mention.
