kalthalior, nice link.

He described the reception for Wolfowitz as "very warm." He added: "We should thank the Bush administration for liberating the Shias of Iraq. I think Dr. Wolfowitz understands our viewpoint and our deep opposition to extremism. We were thrilled to have him attend and to hear his words."

Others, including non-Muslims, who attended the event were struck by the enthusiasm shown to Paul Wolfowitz. But Jafri put the emphasis in the right place: "The convention inaugurated a new period in the history of American Muslims, of heightened awareness of our responsibilities to the country we live in and hope for the future flourishing of Islam and democracy. At our convention next year, we would like to have President Bush as a guest."

And why did a story like this go unreported in the rest of our media?

The reason that this was not reported...Contary to belief, the majority of the US media is still biased to the left, and any information like this is just ignored by the anti war people (and anyone that has made their mind up). So, though it is very easy to copy/paste information that supports the anti war view it is very hard to find (in the media) positive information.

Its like the story of the boy yelling WOLF, but in this case we have the whole village yelling WOLF, while the boy is trying to explain that the wolf is actually a dog. But everyone in the village is unwilling to see the truth, because all they hear is the village people screaming.

I contend many of the anti war people are not held accountable for their spin. Yet expect the pro war people to be held to strict accountably. I will admit that is politics, and just the way things are.

An example would be the intellengce report that was found to be fabricated by the French. Then the colalition was crucifed for relying on it. Instead, one (a reasonable person) would wonder WHY France fabricated that report? WHY would a so called ally go out of their way to mislead us? Well, I didn't read any of the crucifiers apologizing or at least NAIL France to the same cross. Nope, nada...
