About the only time a newspaper won't say "alleged" before outright conviction is when talking about the Mafia.<br /><br />I sometimes think their layout software must add the word automatically.bjkeefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967912817595826059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662517.post-77472195900617136612011-02-06T19:17:21.185-05:002011-02-06T19:17:21.185-05:00"Alleged torture."

Another: The <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/06/world/europe/06bush.html" rel="nofollow">article</a> itself says the story appears on page A21 of the print edition.<br /><br />Another: the timeline on the Google News <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?q=bush+switzerland&hl=en&safe=off&prmd=ivnsu&resnum=1&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ncl=dQR-XRI9FUTgIJM7cdVWTPQXXLWPM&ei=B-NOTbnjLcqr8Aa40qzpDg&sa=X&oi=news_result&ct=more-results&resnum=1&ved=0CCgQqgIwAA" rel="nofollow">page</a> shows a peak early this morning (EST), quickly tapering off.<br /><br />I have a feeling most serious news outfits think it's not news because not a lot actually happened, and trying to say more than a few paragraphs, they would worry, would make them look like they were participating in a "get Bush" effort. And you know how they quake at the thought of being called "the liberal media."<br /><br />Probably would get more play in the US if it weren't for (1) Egypt and (2) the Super Bowl.bjkeefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10967912817595826059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3662517.post-35531778667284085002011-02-06T10:30:28.425-05:002011-02-06T10:30:28.425-05:00It's almost as if there's some hope for de...It's almost as if there's some hope for decency and justice in the world.
