ON THE LARGE ANTI-SADR PROTEST IN NAJAF MENTIONED BELOW, reader Matt Edens emails:

Interesting, isn’t it, that we didn’t read about this in the Times until today, buried in a different story.

I don’t recall seeing it on CNN, either.

They’ve got other stories they’re pursuing now.

UPDATE: But the Associated Press considers a solitary anti-Bush protester to be news! (“Supporters greeted him with campaign signs and stickers on their lapels that said ‘Viva Bush,’ but outside the recreation center, a demonstrator waved a sign that read ‘End the occupation.’ “) (Via Spot On! Emphasis added.) It’s like these guys have an agenda, or something. . . .

ANOTHER UPDATE: More on AP’s priorities here.
