Case in point #1: Tom Delay strongarms local stations into pulling an ad critical of him. "DeLay campaign lawyer Don McGahn wrote Tuesday. " ...

Channel 13 management said it "has reviewed this ad according to our usual procedure. We have decided not to accept the ad in its current form." How very ethical of them.

Because we here at the Zoo love you, we provide you with a link to the ad HERE. It's from the folks at the Public Campaign Action Fund.

Case in Point #2: See the guy pictured above? He's David Keogh and he's just been ordered to stand trial in England with researcher Leo O'Conner for vioalting the Official Secrets Act. Don't remember them? They're the guys who leaked the story about Bush wanting to bomb Al-Jazeera but Blair talking him out of it...or did he?

From the Reuters story linked to HERE..."In 2001, the station's Kabul office was hit by U.S. bombs and in 2003 Al Jazeera reporter Tareq Ayyoub was killed in a U.S. strike on its Baghdad office. The U.S. has denied targeting the station"

The US has asserted these incidents were 'accidental'...

What do you think?
