[edit] Why only ABC?

Why do you suppose ABC ran this headline-grabbing article but no major news outlets picked it up?

I did quick searches for "Operation Northwoods" in the archived news Web pages and found no mention on the following:

CNN; Associated Press; New York Times

And the list of prominent news organizations featured when Googling "Operation Northwoods" seems to stop with the ABC article. The only other Website I recognized in the first few dozen links was Wikipedia (and I suppose answer.com, which just copies the Wikipedia article).

Any thoughts on why other mainstream news sources wouldn't pick up on this? Are US military plans to fake an attack on Americans not newsworthy? Did news sources find the story unreliable? If so, why not investigate and expose Bamford as a falsifier of stories? Doesn't the document seem relevant in the context of the false pretexts for war in Iraq?

I think you just answered your own question with that last one. -Rummy

[edit] I apologize

Sorry for getting angry before

[edit] What does it mean?

I don't know where NPOV leaves off and preferring life over murder picks up, but there is something to be said for the goverment institutions and personnel who could cook something like this up.

[edit] Awww Hell Yeah!!!

[edit] in the vein of the 14th of June invasion of the Dominican Republic
