Dumbing Down Terrorism

Why has the story of the AWOL Afghan deserters been buried? Shouldn't it send up red flags everywhere when you hear about 17 men who go missing after taking language and piloting courses? I guess we'll hear more about their whereabouts if planes should fly into buildings in the near future. Also, the reports of trespassers on various Army bases lately keep adding up -- except in the MSM, where it doesn't make headlines. Shouldn't it?
