NYT Buries the Lede - The People Who Shot the Iraqi VP's Brother Were Speaking EnglishMore here.

This morning on The Young Turks we focused on the fact that the Iraqi Vice President's brother has been assassinated. You might wonder why since unfortunately this is not big news. This is the third sibling of the Vice President who has been shot and killed. There is near chaos in the streets of Baghdad.
Political and ethnic murders are now completely commonplace. But there was something extraordinary in the New York Times story. And, of course, they buried it in the thirteenth and fourteenth paragraphs of the article.
Witnesses say the men who shot the Iraqi VP's brother were speaking in a foreign accent and -- in English!
This is great, together with our success dealing with the other member of the Axis of Exis, nuclear-powered North Korea!
