Why Wasn't the Firing of Cherif Bassiouni reported in the Newspapers listed below.

Nick Meo reports in The Independent

The UN's top human rights investigator in Afghanistan has been forced out under American pressure just days after he presented a report criticising the US military for detaining suspects without trial and holding them in secret prisons.

Taking a page from Anne Coulter's book I searched the web sites of The New York Times, The Washington Post, www.CNN.com, and The onion for "Bassiouni" and found no reference to his dismisal which is neither secret nor routine.

LA Times has it here

I'm kind of disappointed about The Onion.
