So news.com.au and ITV1 don't count as two sources? Warlord said he saw the video (as did FBHthelizardmage), and the original article was on an Aussie news site. That sounds like a second source to me.

I guess I should have said Major news outlet...

and still we have not heared one word about this from any organization here in the states
Define major, since that's nothing more than backpeddling.

Of course you've not. The media is beholden to the government. The government would lose face. The media won't pick this up unless there's strong signs of a dem victory in the election.

Well, I suppose the Department of State doesn't count as an organization here in the States, does it?

So you are going to say that The NY times and The LA times and the Boston Globe would not run this story... ??

So if the US Department of State itself releases a document containing the quote from the Secretary of State, you still won't believe he actually said it until you hear it on CNN?

They didn't run the story of what Bush arranged to happen in his brother's state, with tens of thousands of voters removed(Despite The Times running it over in England and it being a on BBC). So I would say they probably won't run this either.

No when this started Vemp had not posted it... Hell I believe the Report... This is just migrating to why no one else in the Media has brought it up

Well, it seems that the Colin Powell speech listed above wasn't the one on CNN, so I screwed up there myself.

Eh? That's a major WTF...can anyone give me a link to what Shrub and Baby Bush have been concocting in MY state? As if it's not bad enough that the governor's wife is a smuggler and his daughter a crackhead.
