There's nothing like a good news story that appeals to your suspicions and confirms your worldview. You get to say to yourself, "Ahaaa!" and "Just like I suspected!"
Previously I had found the Christmas terror news narrative almost as troubling as the what appears to be the intended act. The accounts about NW 253 given by fellow passengers like the Haskell's seem to have been told in good faith and raised serious questions.
And so it was with some excitement and intrigue that I pounced on an online news story entitled: Congressional Hearing Reveals US Intelligence Agencies Shielded Flight 253 Bomber.
The repercussions of such a revelation seemed important enough to bring to DKos readers, especially given the lead in : Amid Media Blackout You dear reader deserved to know the details. To avoid charges of pandering to "conspiracy theorizing" I set out to ensure that my diary was accurate and fair and beyond impeachment.
This is NOT the diary I expected to be writing. Please make the leap.
