Bush Coordinated with Pakistan on Timing of Terror Suspect Capture Alert

A BUZZFLASH READER CONTRIBUTION

BuzzFlash Wrote: Pakistan Delivers Suspected Terrorist Exactly When Bush Requested: During Dem Convention. Will a 1998 Bombing Suspect Overshadow Kerry's Night? 7/30

I was listening to NPR this morning, as well as to WBBM radio (Chicago). The BIG story was the Kerry speech and the beginning of the campaign, as well as how pResident Bush was going to respond.

The story about the arrest never made it to WBBM while I was listening.

The story of the arrest was aired on NPR along with questions to the reporter about the timing of the announcement. The reporter said that the initial arrest was made on Saturday, but the police coordinated with our administration who said they wanted the announcement to be made yesterday.

How unusual that Bush wants to control the flow of news. Hmmm?
