Had Chlorine Gas been news, then maybe they would have reported it as it was being used in Iraq, on our soldiers.
I was informed, first hand account, that Chlorine Gas was in fact used on our boys in Iraq (and a NYT reporter as well). So if the NYT won't report the use of WW-1 era WMD's in Iraq, such agents shouldn't be news at all.
nothing to see here, move along ...ignore these recent photos from Iraq
With the tsunami in Asia going on, and the fact that more people died on our nations highways in the same time period, yes, I don't rate that a big story. Sue me.
Of course its news! Chlorine gas escapes after a train derailment killing people and leaving 5000 with uninhabitable homes isnt worth hearing about? Have we become that callous and bored by real life disasters? How bout I wake you up when the dead rise from the graves and start attacking and eating the living.
nothing much is going to top the hugeness of the tsunami story till the comet hits, so we may as well just roll over and never talk about anything current again
