OK...just looking at the ABC story, all it is is a very small paragraph talking about "this is the reaction to the report" and then a bunch of quotes from Republican politicians all up in arms and alarmed about the report.

Shocking.....

I would like to see where the "report" came from and the facts behind it.

Yeah, I didn't really look at the content of those, just the first ones that came up in Google that were talking about it. The ABC story isn't much of a story. And it's definitely unsubstantiated for now. But it's not exactly the type of thing that anyone would hold a big announcement for either, is it.

 
Obama didn't come out and announce that the ACA had death panels either.

It will be interesting to see if this story actually generates any fact finding or just politics as usual.

 
This time, though, it was in the Associated Press. This is certainly not the first time that someone has placed a strategic leak in order to achieve a political objective. But it is disturbing that the AP allowed itself to be used in this way, that it exaggerated the story in a way that have likely misled large numbers of people, and that, having now scrubbed many of the details, it has appended no note or correction explaining the changes. It is not a proud moment for journalism.

Hooray.

 
Saudi Arabia and Israel are strange bedfellows. But both stand to lose quite a bit if the U.S. and Iran stop open hostilities. Israel stands to lose tons of military funding, while Saudi Arabia stands to lose their preeminent status in the region.

Both are funding massive ad campaigns to sway Americans.

Saudi Arabia is spending millions of dollars to fund television commercials against the Iran nuclear agreement, a new report has revealed.

A newly established group, called the “American Security Initiative”, has flooded television stations across the US with $6 million of advertisements requesting Americans to call their senators and oppose the Vienna nuclear accord, The Intercept, an online news magazine, reported on Friday.

The Intercept report said the “American Security Initiative” is owned by former Republican Senator Norm Coleman, who is a registered lobbyist for Riyadh.

Last month, AIPAC launched a group, called “Citizens for a Nuclear Free Iran,” to convince members of Congress to reject the conclusion of nuclear talks reached between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries in Vienna on July 14.

Remember those two names: the American Security Initiative and Citizens for a Nuclear Free Iran. Neither are American groups.
