From the news coverage on Bush’s summit on child abductions: When you read down to the third or fourth paragraphs of most of the stories that cover the summit announcement, you’ll find (carefully hidden) that there hasn’t been any major increase in child abductions.

The numbers have in fact decreased slightly in recent years.

Not saying it isn’t an important topic.
Not saying the summit won’t do some good.
Am saying the media is over-exposing the topic (again).

Look out! A shark is attacking that abandoned baby!!!

The man has to clutch at whatever straws he can to distract us from other things. Country club prisons. Dick Cheney. Some not so pleasant side effects of the Contract With America. The creation of an American Gestapo.
