Fair and Balanced

Did you know that Israel is holding the passengers and crew of a humanitarian aid ship bound for Gaza? I guess celebrity funerals are more important these days. Those being detained include former United States Representative, Cynthia McKinney, and an Irish peace activist and Nobel laureate, Mairead Corrigan Maguire. You might think that warranted a little more attention on the news. Imagine if Iran attempted the same thing. Do you think the US would stand by and watch?!
Journalist:What’s being done about that? Are they on their way home? Will they be deported? What’s the next step there, and will their supplies ever get to where they’re going?
Spokesman: On that last question, I don’t know the answer, actually. I think I have to refer you to the Government of Israel. We can confirm that the Israeli navy did arrest those on board this – the ship which is known as Spirit. We can't comment on any of the individuals or the number of individual American citizens on board because of Privacy Act concern.
