a few years ago i was taking a course at the u, and was up all night finishing a paper due in the morning. (as it happened, the topic was presidential candidates' position on gun control.)i was watching the news like crazy anticipating a candidate to drop out before my am deadline. instead of the announcment, there came a "special report" from location with dan rather.(? i should go back and check my quote notes on the broadcast if i can find them) he said a holy war had been declared on the united states, and went on to describe the mission and the objective behind the holy war.
my jaw dropped, i was stunned. serious stuff.
the declaration wasn't in the news the next day, or even for several days after. i finally found a short blurb on it about 4 days later in the back pages of a newspaper.
i think rebroadcasting that special report today would be prudent.
