And now... the rest of the story

This morning I was reading the Wanderer over breakfast when I came across this interesting article entitled, "Men Without Chests". Do you remember several weeks ago when we found out about John Walker Lindh? The media went into a frenzy about what would make a young man make such a strange lifestyle change? What the media failed to mention was that not only did his father leave John and his mother when John was 16 years old. John's father left them to move in with his gay lover. It was shortly after that incident that John made his progression from studying Malcolm X, to the Muslim religion, to fighting in "holy wars". Was this reporting negligence purely an accidental oversight by the media?
