But, from many of the other posts here "you" knew that the election was in the bag, so why would "you" consider that?

I thought we were speaking metaphorically. If not, it's a stupid question. How do you jump from a U.S. drone in international airspace to someone taking a shot of me on the street?

So in the end it's not important to the left that the Administration is "cherry picking" the news? No surprise, shut up and accept the news that the Glorious Leader chooses to share with us when he gets around to it. Face it, there are things we shouldn't know strictly because our Glorious Leader says so.

I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.

"Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford

Yeah, kind of like the news from "Glorious Leader Bush" that they were setting up interrogation/torture prisons on foreign soil, rendering people there that he didn't want anyone to know he had, and water-boarding prisoners. You know...It's all in a day's work.

It's the Department of Defense, Otis. They don't announce security things on your schedule. I'm sure there are lots of things involving DoD that we don't know.

If you didn't want to have a meaningful discussion about this, why did you post it?

Oh, never mind. I know why.

It is pretty much a non-story no matter when it was released. Not exactly man bites dog, just like the Russian sub coming close to the US coast.

We fly drones over other countries and act surprised when they get shot down. 'Merica!
