The host of CNN's Reliable Sources program admits that the mainstream news media's highly favorable coverage of Barack Obama may "have crossed a cultural line into mythmaking." Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post says the mainstream media are "packaging a president-elect for profit" and "fostering the notion that Obama is invincible" ... He adds that another example of the media frenzy over Obama is the cable network MSNBC running promos that say: "Barack Obama, America's 44th president. Watch as a leader renews America's promise."

A physician once considered a champion of abortion in the former Yugoslavia now defends the lives of unborn children. Sotjan Adasevic said he performed a total of 48,000 abortions, sometimes as many as 35 a day in Yugoslav hospitals under the former communist regime, until a dream caused him to have second thoughts about what he was doing. Adasevic told the Spanish newspaper La Razon that he "dreamed about a beautiful field full of children and young people who were playing and laughing, from 4 to 24 years of age, but who ran away from him in fear. A man dressed in a black and white habit stared at him in silence."

I realize it’s difficult for the average citizen to admit witnessing a crime of this magnitude, especially if implicated himself. Even G.I.s sympathetic to the victims were afraid to complain and get into trouble, they told me. And the danger has not ceased. Since I spoke out a few weeks ago, I have received threatening calls and had my mailbox smashed. But its been worth it. Writing about these atrocities has been a catharsis of feelings suppressed too long, a liberation, that perhaps will remind other witnesses that “the truth will make us free, have no fear.” We may even learn a supreme lesson from all this: only love can conquer all.
