deri, when did this happen? i have been watching the
evening news for the past few weeks and saw nothing of
this. could you tell me how to get to the guardian? is
it a website or a newpaper? how i might get to it? i
do not go to the fox website regularly, but, the few
times i have been there, i did not see this.
i will say this. i do not trust any one news source
and listen to many.
i have did a search in google on carl cameron and then
added "The Guardian." I FIND NEITHER THE ARTICLE YOU
ARE QUOTING NOR THE ONE BY CARL CAMERON. can you send
a link?
