A Nov 5 Reuters article caught my eye.

I had been anticipating the results of the UN inspection, and when I read the article I thought jeez, this is news. But no, it was not news. 

Many of us have held the fear that maybe "the big one" was going to drop. Every time the news cycle gets bored, they are back to "Iran is building a bomb",  boogah, boogah! If the US won't drop the big one by God Israel will go it alone! Cheney and the gang played this card to escalate the perpetual war machine till the bitter end.

Now it seems that maybe Iran isn't very close to weapons grade enrichment, and the "secret plant" isn't even close to the boogie man it has been billed. For one, I am relieved. You would think it would have gotten some attention. Alas, it is not much for news folks. Not enough boogah, boogah.

Google search results with the Reuters title left our main stream media oddly quiet, but as I suspected, Juan Cole does consider noteworthy. http://www.juancole.com/  (Nov 7 post).
