Number of Nanoseconds George W. Devotes to Jill Caroll's situation
.0048
One can't help being reminded of George W.'s words after Daniel Pearl's death:
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary (Beijing, People's Republic of China) February 21, 2002
Remarks by the President on Confirmation of the Death of Daniel Pearl St. Regis Hotel Beijing, People's Republic of China
PRESIDENT BUSH: Laura and I, and the American people, are deeply saddened to learn about the loss of Daniel Pearl's life [although, what's the death of a journalist to me? fewer meddling questions for all of us honest folk just trying to do our heck of a jobs]. And we're really sad for his wife and his parents, and his friends and colleagues, who have been clinging to hope for weeks that he be found alive [somebody did a great job here making me sound reasonable and compassionate]. We are especially sad for his unborn child, who will now know his father only through the memory of others [any chance to reference words that come into play in the abortion, um, debate, I'll gladly take].
All Americans are sad and angry to learn of the murder [I wrote this line]. All around the world, American journalists and humanitarian aid workers and diplomats and others do important work in places that are sometimes dangerous [Dick Cheney's valet is a tough cookie]. Those who would threaten Americans, those who would engage in criminal, barbaric acts, need to know that these crimes only hurt their cause and only deepen the resolve of the United States of America to rid the world of these agents of terror [It's good to be propaganda king of the world]. May God bless Daniel Pearl [When's my next vacation?].
