1. Ahh, But....
The terrorists didn't "fail." They have scared Americans to the point that the media can't stop talking about it.

6. Not exactly since average people have zero say-so re Corp media programming
Numbers show how the public has been steadily tuning out the M$M - viewership and readers - over the past several yrs, yet the 'terror' bullshit is still pimped to the nth degree since acclimating the public mind to the wants of Vested Intere$ts is a significant role for the M$M apparatus regardless of lower numbers buying the shit they sell.

2. Yes. Vested Interests are frothing at the mouth for the chance to clamp down on "negative" opinions

3. It is a public service to get every detail of this failed attempt
We are now keenly aware of the thinking of the terrorist mind.

5. I'm not faulting the media for hammering the intel agy's for this!
The Dept of Homeland Security was supposedly formed to force the diff. agencies to work together and share info, but they're STILL not doing that! I think the blame for this recent attempt DOES fall right into THEIR LAP! Maybe some public shame will help tear down some of those super egos that keep them saying "I got this info, and IT'S MINE! YOU go find your own!"

anyway, the MSM is turned off in my house. You dont see them covering the atrocities we are committing in the countries we occupied. Nope, I wont watch the fckers anymore. Corporate news.

9. Ramping up for expansion to another front in the "war on terror".
Just wondering how many rightwing talking points we'll hear again on the way there and who will be saying them.
