Amtrak Train Derails in Florida Orlando to Washington D.C. Many trapped Media Is Drawn Into West Bank Propaganda War Baffling discrepancies Three Palestinians killed as IDF apprehends top Hamas Militant Rambo type arrest as IDF drop from helicopter Readers Protest (LA)Times This could be a trend Cuomo's 9/11 Insult Off to a very very bad start Israel trashed with Jenin rubble Excellent editorial Fresh Evidence of Jenin Atrocities More wacko Brit disinformation

Quote of the day:

Frankly, were I the Israelis, I wouldn't bother with a semi-effective job of keeping the press out of the war zone. I'd offer directions -- the war is down that street, ma'am -- and see how the press likes finding itself in crossfire or booby-trapped buildings.

Cuomo-Boy Steps In It: In the most obscene use of 9/11 as political canon fodder since the disaster, former Governor Mario Cuomo's kid may have strangled his baby campaign in it's crib by saying Gov. Pataki "failed to lead" during the crisis. The Republican oppo research people will now have no qualms about releasing the hounds of hell upon the kid.

Oriana Rises: Oriana Fallaci, Italy's Camille Paglia, suddenly appeared in print this week with the most scathing condemnation of European Jew-haters yet to see print. If you couldn't get to it yesterday please print this one out today. You will not read anything close to this again. This just shows that some lefties are so smart they can overcome it.

Coming To A Mall Near You: Someone had to say it and Claudia Rosset says it well at the OpinionJournalOnline. She warns of the exploding wake-up call some time in the future that will put everything in focus. All it will take is a half a dozen murderers in a Motel 6, all on expired visitors visas.

United We Clog Traffic: Peter Carlson has an amusing piece in the Washington Post concerning people who march . We have long suspected that these are people who have traded the more civilized bar for the street as a place to hook-up or perhaps...unite.

Dissing General Powell: The concierge hadn't even got Powell's good blue suit back from the hotel cleaners than the media started in on how his trip was a "humiliation" and a "total failure." Were they under the bunker table sobbing while the meeting with Arafat was going on? Perhaps that explains the long row of Kleenex boxes. Here's an early thumb-sucking example from the Washington Post. and another from the LA Times . You gotta love the phrase, "no evidence on the ground." Huh? Michael Kramer at the New York Daily News has a less agenda-driven take.
