i realized the reason the fact that former president bill clinton authorized the rendition program has not made a big splash in the MSM over here...
the source isn't anonymous...
apparently, venerable news outlets like the NYTimes, Washington Post, LA Times, etc prefer their sources be nameless people unwilling to stand up for their beliefs (preferably placing the bush administration in a bad light)
despite the public's dislike of anonymous sourcing and the media 'ambivalence' over leaks (deemed good when it makes stories and sells papers, but bad when done by bush administration insiders), the media cannot wean itself off anonymous sources
here's a suggestion, save 'anonmyous' for STD e-cards
