Israel's recent attack on Syria « Thread Started on Oct 15, 2007, 1:58pm » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Blue TurkBy Barron YoungSmithPosted Sunday, Oct. 14, 2007, at 5:59 AM ET read at source> http://letters.slate.com/W9RH0149F14B5D ... 57DE770The New York Times leads with news from unnamed officials that the target of Israel's recent attack on Syria was a partially constructed nuclear reactor. The Washington Post leads with lawmakers and lobbyists trying to get around the Congressional gift ban. The WP also goes up top with U.S. efforts to salvage our alliance with Turkey--endangered by Congress's plan to recognize the Armenian genocide and a string of Kurdish terrorist attacks. The Los Angeles Times devotes its top stories to a fiery multi-truck pileup shut down I-5, the main artery between northern and southern California.The NYT's sources say Israel's September airstrike into Syria targeted the beginnings of a nuclear reactor based on a design from North Korea. There was little disagreement within the administration about the intelligence information itself, but there were fierce arguments last summeras to whether or not the Israeli strike would be "premature." While we do not know how far along the reactor was, it could not have been advanced enough to threaten Israel directly--Israel's attack was instead designed to put Iran on notice.
