a raw cut of some chanting and then a comment by a protestor

another backup story in case we lose too many "A" pitches.

The Navy and Coast Guard continue searching for nine

missing japanese students who were capsized when a

U.S. nuclear attack sub collided during a surfacing

exercise.

Scott Waddle, the commander of the sub has refused

to discuss the accident with NTSB investigators until

the Navy completes its investigation.

Waddle says his lawyer recommended he only respond

to written questions about search and rescue efforts,

We might want to downplay or not touch this story at all,

even though it's going to be raging news the next couple

days.

I wouldn't mind avoiding this at least til next

week, because I have a hunch it's some kind

of a setup. IE: I think US gov't is preparing to

discredit russia because any week now they

might bring up the kursk and prove that a US

sub sunk it.

I think bush needs as many of us to fear russia

again as possible and suspect this fed may have

even volunteered a fall.
