Missing From My Paper

I don't understand why these stories appeared on the website, but not in my paper.

More MSM CENSORSHIP, I see!


"Army orders recall of body armor

WASHINGTON - Army Secretary Pete Geren has ordered the recall of more than 16,000 sets of body armor following an audit that concluded the bullet-blocking plates in the vests failed testing and may not provide adequate protection.

Yeah, SUPPORT the TROOPS! We got TRILLIONS for war looters, but when the grunt puts on the vest.... ?

WTF? All about the $$$$, huh?

First they MOVE FORWARD an then they RECALL DEFECTIVE MERCH?

The audit by the office of the Defense Department inspector general, to be made public tomorrow and obtained by the Associated Press, criticizes the testing procedures the Army used before awarding a contract for the armor.... The vests are standard gear for troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.

So it should be in my paper tomorrow then?

--more--"

And why would they censor this, huh?

Maybe they should be looking internally a bit more.

I swear to God, PERVERSION must be a REQUIRED QUALIFICATION for GOVERNMENT SERVICE!


"CIA officer in Algeria accused in 2 rapes" by Joby Warrick, Washington Post | January 29, 2009

WASHINGTON - The CIA's top officer in Algeria has been returned to Washington amid allegations that he drugged and raped two women at his Algiers residence, an accusation that presents the Obama administration's new intelligence team with an unexpected legal and diplomatic crisis even before it officially takes office.

The 41-year-old Algiers station chief was ordered home by the State Department after a months-long investigation of alleged sexual assaults in September 2007 and February of last year, US officials confirmed yesterday. The two women involved in the incidents told US diplomats that they became unconscious after receiving what they believed were knockout drugs served to them in drinks.

The alleged assaults, if confirmed, are viewed as particularly serious because they could potentially damage diplomatic relations with Algeria, a US ally, and undermine US efforts to improve its image in the Muslim world, former diplomats and foreign policy experts said.

Yeah, RAPE of MUSLIM WOMEN isn't going to go over to well over there -- nor here, for that matter!

The CIA and State Department declined to comment on the alleged assaults, which were first described in an Internet report yesterday by ABC News....

--more--"

And nothing in my paper a day later, either.

Can you say cover-up, readers?
