When is Someone Going to Toss Rumsfeld into a Cage? [View All]

If you want to ensure that the media doesn’t cover an important political story, send out a press release on a Friday,
preferably at the end of the day. By the time reporters return on Monday, the story will be old news and will either be
buried deep within a newspaper or not covered at all.

That’s what the Pentagon brass is praying for.

At the end of the day Friday, the Pentagon confirmed a pattern of widespread abuse of the Muslim holy book, the
Quran, by military personnel dating back two and a half years. Releasing the report when most beat reporters have
left for the weekend was a calculated move by White House and Pentagon spin doctors to control media coverage of
the explosive report.

Where’s the outrage?
