The media is lying by omission. They ought to tell a little about the man when they cover the story, but they don't want you to know about the man or else the whole illusion of America representing all that is good in the world is shattered.
The article I read did list his acts of terrorism but I didn't remember what they were specifically since I just scanned it. (I read a lot so often just scan to get the gist of an article.)

It's not baiting imo.
It IS baiting IMO.

By logical deduction they only reasons those who saw the thread didn't reply are they value the lifes of cubans less than Americans, they no nothing about the iincident (until now), they were ashamed and didn't want their hypocrisy exposed (those who call for a war on terror) and well i'm running out of other possible reasons.
I'll give you another good reason: maybe this thread just didn't interest them. Not everyone reads every thread, and not everyone posts in every thread that they do read. But when I read this thread and saw that bit about Americans being ashamed and embarrassed just because we didn't happen to post in your thread, and realized that you were assuming the worst of us, I felt compelled to respond.
