So. Folks are reporting that a largescale chemical weapons attack has been thwarted in the Jordanian capital. Considering the attack was intended to kill tens of thousands (whether it would have is a different question, as Aum Shinrikyo showed us a few years ago), it is understandable that it should be all over the appropriate headlines and front pages.
So why are people only now taking notice of something which reached the BBC twelve days ago?
Really now, guys. I know it's only been two weeks, but it wouldn't strain your delicate little heads to stay on top of things like this instead of what Michael Jackson had for breakfast this morning.

I was much more interested in the "Isreal Identifies New Hamas Leader" story myself. Israel saying "We won't put a missle through him if you stop" has much more meaning now than it did a couple months ago.
To say Israel wields The Hammer in this is an ever-growing understatement.
