Sudan Security Roughs Up Rice Delegation

Hey, did anyone happen to catch the story today about how security forces for the Sudanese government manhandled a group of U.S. officials and reporters, amongst them NBC’s Andrea Mitchell, traveling with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice to the country for a round of negotiations? First off, how stupid are the Sudanese? They have been placed under a microscope by the United States of America for years, long before even Colin Powell admitted to the public that what was taking place in the country was nothing less then genocide (which is true), so why draw further attention to themselves? Andrea Mitchell has already come out and derided the government of Sudan absence of ‘freedom of the press’. This of course brings me to my second and final point on this topic. Ever since George W. Bush took office the left-wing media has done nothing but gripe and complain about how ‘freedom of the press’ does not exist under Bush’s ‘imperialist America’ and how there is a lack of communication between the press and the White House as there was under the Clinton Administration. This, I hope, will send a wake up call to the media, if only for a short time.
