“Stork
Busted As Suspected Spy In Egypt” read the headline from the August 31st
Daily News (among many other media
outlets). Egyptian authorities “detained” the stork, literally putting it
behind bars in a jail after a citizen brought the bird in and pointed out what
he thought appeared to be an eavesdropping device of some kind attached to the
bird’s neck. Of course, this was a tracking device, to aid in discovering the
extent of the bird’s migration, where these birds winter and how long they may
stay in one place, etc. This device would’ve been placed on the stork by a
European naturalist, not an Israeli agent… with the intent of gathering
intelligence on… the stork…not Egypt.
The
Bush administration doesn’t look quite so paranoid now, does it?
When
you detain a large bird- in a prison-
for days at a time on suspicion of being a Zionist spy, you may want to
consider a twelve-step program.
Just
sayin’.
