Hmm.Perhaps that's not the kind of news covered in the type of 'specialised' newspapers and magazines that our Louis reads?...

Re: Wicky leaks
I am pleased Rodney does not include Fox news in his list of publications and TV outlets. Have any personnel or US government bodies faced trial in the kidnapping (extraordinary extradition) or torture (enhanced interrogation) in the Bush era?
Vic, Jamal Khashoggi was lured to the Saudi Consulate in Istanbul where he was murdered and his body dismembered by a team of Saudi hit men. The FBI have stated this was on the orders of the Saudi Crown Prince. Secret trials of the alleged murderers were held in Saudi Arabia, no further details have been released.
The Saudi Crown Prince is due in Turkey for governmental talks. It seems all has been forgiven because of the world wide oil supply crisis.

Re: Wicky leaks
Loise, has it ever crossed your mind that perhaps there is no further news to report? The dudes dead, murdered by the Crown Prince. Oh! and I mentioned BBC because they are a well-respected news outlet throughout the world. As well as not mentioning Fox, I didn't mention the Daily Mirror neither, I put them both in the same league.

Re: Wicky leaks
Strange reply from you Rodney, "the dudes dead". What do we do, just write him off as collateral damage?
When Julian Assange leaves the UK in handcuffs for a life sentence in the US investigative journalism is also dead.
No more reporters such as Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein who broke the Watergate story and brought down Nixon.
Now revealing files the government finds embarrassing will see the journalist wearing an orange jump suit.

Re: Wicky leaks
Louis.
As a matter of fact, Bernstein and Woodward where on CNN TV today rehashing with John Dean the Nixon scandal. I'm sure if they had any facts on other issues, they wouldn't be flogging that dead horse (Nixon... not your dead horse).
