The above Washington Post story was rushed onto the Internet AFTER the
earlier hard copy edition posted:
12 Found Alive in W. Va. Coal Mine
Body of 13th Man Was Discovered In Adjacent Area
By Ann Scott Tyson
Washington Post Staff Writer
SAGO, W.Va., Jan. 3 -- A dozen miners trapped 12,000 feeti into a
mountainside since early Monday were found alive Tuesday night just
hours after rescuers found the bosy of a 13th man, who died in an
explosion in an adjacent coal mine that was sealed off in early
December.

Rush to scoop! What a blackeye for the Post! As in, never let facts
get in the way of a good story!
Did FEMA handle this operation? Did the Bush spinmasters (like Karen
Hughes) want to create a feel-good story for the nation, to override
our consciousness about the disastrous Iraq "war," Hurricane Katrina
FEMA fiasco, DeLay-Abramoff scandal, and the NSA wiretap secret? Sure
seems like it!
