The Las Vegas Review-Journal, on page 11A of today’s paper, reports that a U.S. marshal Friday confiscated recorders from two reporters and erased them after they recorded remarks made by Justice Scalia during a public speech.

I suppose it really should be no surprise that Bush didn’t pay attention to thousands of years of Middle Eastern history.
