Or how about the continuous headlines we saw on the Abu Gharib military scandal but now see nothing on the front page above the fold on the torture rooms and mutilated bodies found in Fallujah. No they continue to call these terrorists rebel fighters or insurrgents to imply like Michael Moore that they are "freedom fighters" like the American Minutemen.

November 13, 2004 -- The Senate will open hearings Monday on the United Nations' infamously corrupt Oil-for-Food scandal — but without information its staff needs. That's because Secretary-General Kofi Annan is stonewalling — not just refusing to turn over critical documents, like the 55 internal audits that the world body has conducted, but "affirmatively telling individuals not to cooperate."

In a bipartisan move, the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations' two senior members, Chairman Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) and ranking Democrat Carl Levin (Mich.), sent a blistering letter to Annan demanding to know why he's obstructing congressional probes.
They're not the only ones who deserve an answer.
