CBS CATCHES UP
The lead story on tonight's 60 Minutes featured Brig. Gen. John Custer, chief of intelligence for U.S. Central Command: www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/03/02/60minutes/main2531546.shtml
CBS promoted Scott Pelley's story as a new revelation: The jihadists are using the internet for recruiting, with shocking results. Glad they've finally caught up with the story. Gen. Custer revealed all of this when I first interviewed him in the Middle East in September of 2005. And he's updated this issue on more recent phone interviews and in-studio with us in San Diego a few weeks ago. He's a very smart man, and we should be grateful to have him in such position of influence. Wish I could say the same about CBS News. But at least they're getting with the story now... about a year and a half late.
She who would be President.
EVER NOTICE: How Barack Obama changes his delivery and style when speaking to African-American audiences? Kind of like when Mrs. Clinton, who grew up in Illinois, feigned a Southern accent when she was first lady (or so she thought) in Arkansas. Today, speaking in Alabama on the anniversary of the Selma march, Obama was on a roll and Hillary was in full-throated blare. Someone needs to remind her that we have microphones now... she doesn't need to yell ala a 1960s demonstration. Oh--- and isn't it interesting that Democrat candidates can speak in any church, anytime, without criticism? But if GOP stars do, it's a Constitutional crisis. Hmmmm...
SPEAKING OF REVELATIONS: No one is more on top of the China threat than Bill Gertz, Pentagon correspondent for the Washington Times. He also wrote "The China Threat" a few years ago. He updated us regarding China's dramatic increase in military spending on Friday's radio show. Here's more info on this hot topic: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070304/ap_on_re_as/china_politics_2
