Yeah...this has been building as I watched the elections unfold with both sides trying OVERLY (not even subtle) to shape the election results (ie. Swift Boat Vets amplified by Fox....the Bush National Guard fiasco for Rather/CBS), a great study for future would be journalists.
But this was a bigger scale to me and when it dawned on me, these isolated facts, it put a lump in my throat. The possibility of igniting a world war...an order of magnitude greater that the usual partisan political crap that I have become almost numb to.
