This morning on Democracy Now, Amy and Juan played a press conference with Netanyahu in which he called Papandreau "my friend" for stopping the boats. And then they interviewed the Israeli ambassador, I think, to the UN. His refusal to answer very specific questions was amazing, and visible to all (I hope). Kudos to Democracy Now for their coverage and more pointed follow-up questioning than previously.
