News the US media keeps to itself: yesterday was 45th publicly known attempted Islamic terrorist attack against the US since 9/11

.

There are 3-4 terrorist incidents each week in the UK. That we're moving toward that in the US doesn't bother media members.

2/19/12, "What the Headline Isn't," Atlas Shrugs, Pamela Geller

"Yesterday, another devout Muslim was arrested before he could blow up the Capitol building. The thwarted homicide bombing marked at least the 45th publicly known attempted Islamic terrorist attack against the United States since 9/11, and is the sixth such attack targeting Washington, D.C.

That is news. But is that the headline? No, it's what the headline isn't. It's not even mentioned by an enemedia aligned with the jihad force. In fact, it's just the opposite. Look at the headlines (below). The vicious media swarm is attacking the very counterterrorism tools that are keeping us safe. This is madness. Why wouldn't law enforcement be on the job?

This latest attempted attack serves as yet another reminder of the importance of maintaining strong counterterrorism tools. Terrorists continue to seek to harm the U.S. The nation must not become complacent.

The media is at war with the American people.

Robert Spencer restates the obvious:

"The Muslim Students Association is a Muslim Brotherhood group. The NYPD was monitoring it. So what? As long as no Constitutional protections were genuinely violated, the NYPD is just doing its job. The purpose of articles like this is to stop them from doing that job, which will have the effect, intended or not, of allowing the jihadist and Islamic supremacist activities of the MSAs to advance unimpeded.

Discover the Networks here has documentation of the MSA's ties to the Brotherhood, as well as a lengthy list of inflammatory, jihadist statements and jihad activities by MSA members........

This is egregious, as far as Chris Hawley and AP are concerned, but when jihadis consistently explain and justify their violent actions by referring to Islamic imperatives, as the underwear bomber did just days ago, why shouldn't law enforcement consider it worth noting when young Muslims discuss Islam? What assurance can the Muslim Brotherhood-linked MSA give that discussions of Islam among its members differ fundamentally in character from discussions of Islam among people like Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, Nidal Hasan, and Faisal Shahzad? And in the absence of the possibility of any such genuine assurance, why shouldn't law enforcement be vigilant?""

Mr. Jordan explains he and CNN kept a lot of news about Iraq to themselves. The media sees itself as an independent nation state. Perhaps a martyr complex gone very wrong.

Ed. note: Over time you can get people to believe anything. 82% of Egyptian Muslims believe you should be stoned to death for adultery. Culture wars are easily won by controlling the media.
