Revolutionary Moderation

Missed opportunity

You know, if we were ever going to take the opportunity to stand up for our NATO allies in Turkey, telling Netanyahu that he was being held here while we investigated his government's attack of a ship flying a Turkish flag in international waters would have been a good chance.

Alternet has a short-and-sweet article to unspin the nonsense Israel's press relations office has been trotting out all day.  And Salon asks "Just ponder what we'd be hearing if Iran had raided a humanitarian ship in international waters and killed 15 or so civilians aboard."  Hat tip to Pogge for the latter.
