    This is old news -- but deserves retelling -- over and over

    This is really not news. This has been out there for months waiting to be picked up. It's only news because Brian Ross and ABC decided to make it news. Listeners and viewers of Democracy Now with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzales have known about this abridgment of constitutional rights for months. Go check out the May 13, 2008 broadcast where Sgt Adrienne Kinne is interviewed by Amy Goodman. And, oh yes, the Palestine Hotel was deliberately targeted by our military.
