The mainstream media keeps showing the same clips of pundits and hosts berating Rev. Wright for meeting with Louis Farrakhan, and even travelling to Libya with him. That would be a little strange for the Reverend. Nobody seems to be able to put into perspective why Farrakhan, Wright, and Jackson were over there. Well I did a little research, and came across a Lt. Robert Goodman who was a US Navy A-6 Intruder navigator shot down by Syrian gunfire; essentially a P.O.W. As a matter of fact, that trip to Libya and later Syria, also included negotiations regarding the release of that same pilot. The US government made numerous attempts to free him, but until Rev. Wright's trip, we had been completely unsuccessful, much to the dismay of Robert Goodman.
So how did this goodwill tour of the Holy Land turn into a private meeting with all the worlds bad guys? How could the noble actions described by even Ronald Reagan as a "mission of mercy" turn into hate mongering? Fox News. Reagan wanted this to be remembered as a trip that has "earned our grattitude and our admiration".
