	The True Taliban Touter
		WorldNetDaily hammers away at Patty Murray, but stays uncritical of a Republican congressman who was a lot closer to Osama bin Laden's protectors than the senator ever was.
		WorldNetDaily is trying the drip-drip-drip approach in its crusade against Washington Sen. Patty Murray, a Democrat, for her Osama bin Laden-related comments, distorting what she said by repeatedly insisting she "praised" bin Laden when in reality she was trying to draw a (somewhat erroneous) contrast over how the U.S. is viewed in the Middle East.
		The steady attack -- seven news stories in 10 days, plus a statement from Murray's office, two opinion pieces and another article plugging a WND writer's appearance on a radio talk show to talk about Murray -- is starting to look more desperate as more arcane expressions of outrage are sought to gain attention.

		Murray acknowledged that western Washington's political and environmental leaders were particularly adept at working together to accomplishing great things for salmon recovery.
