The media seems curiously uninterested in the latest Obama
administration bombshell. This past week, Politico published a report
that President Obama helped derail an investigation into a drug
trafficking ring waged by Hezbollah in order to protect his nuclear deal
with Iran. The effort, entitled Project Cassandra, began in 2008
following evidence from the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Investigators went under cover to track the alleged drug and weapons
trafficking but were slowed by White House officials who were dragging
their feet. In their pursuit to ease tensions with Iran, the Obama
administration "let Hezbollah off the hook."
Politico's reporting
was both shocking and intriguing, but their contemporaries and
mainstream broadcast networks have not exactly jumped on the story.
In the days since it was first published, the New York Times has treated
it as a non-story. The Washington Post’s sole article on it consisted
of a blog post, by one of its liberal opinion writers, devoted to quotes
from Obama-administration alumni dismissing both Meyer and his sources
as neoconservative propaganda without actually refuting any of the
story’s main points. The broadcast channels and the liberal news
channels have similarly avoided the scandal. (National Review)
