Anyone remember this story?
What the Hell happened to it?
I was thinking about this the other day when I was going over some writing I'd done in the past six months and came across various stories that blew up in a few days then just completely disappeared.
Consider the story about Chalabi and telling the Iranians about how the US had broken their code. Broke on a friday and was a huge buzz for about 48 hours. Chalbi's relatives were pushed out of the interim government and charges were brought against him in Iraq. That story? Who the Hell knows?
Consider Plame, remember her? There was talk about an end to the Grand Jury, there was talk about an impending frog march. Then, right before the elections we hear Rove is testifying. That story? Who the Hell knows?
Consider the Israeli spy in the Pentagon broke on a friday and was a massive buzz. There was talk of a frog march. There was talk about the perp being close to the president and a deputy to a cabinet member! That story? Who the Hell knows?
Is it me, or have some pretty remarkable stories just been forgotten in the briefest period of time?
