Don’t Know Whether to Laugh or Cry

I try, I really do try to steer clear of politics on this site;  but this story is beyond weird.

Back in 2009, a remarkable article appeared, in Playboy of all places:

The rest of the media mostly ignored the story, and it seemed to have died.  The public doesn’t care unless you poke it with a stick.  No-one was ever held accountable.

This morning, the NYTimes finally catches up to Playboy:

Note the detail that senior Bush administration officials considered shooting down American passenger planes, based on a fabrication.

Let’s not let this story die a second time.
