Today’s News

  • CNN: Israel cuts contacts with Palestinians. The Israeli government says it is suspending contact with the Palestinian Authority after the killing of right-wing Israeli cabinet member Rechavam Zeevi.
  • Knight Ridder: Anthrax testing widens in Capitol offices. Hundreds of Capitol employees submitted Tuesday to tests for possible exposure to anthrax — and other lethal diseases — and began taking antibiotics after scientists confirmed that deadly anthrax spores contaminated a Senate office building.

    And a valuable comment from Michael Kelly of the Washington Post:

  • Chicken Little Media. This is still no time to go wobbly. Also, it is no time for the American media to revert to the hysterical, silly, fear-mongering, self-centered, juvenile and ninnyish form that has made them so widely mistrusted and so cordially detested.
