Like me, you may be offended or at least puzzled by views you sometimes see slipped into news reports. Could be spin; maybe bias. But only word captures how the mainstream news industry covers Jordan keeping a confessed bomber shielded from US justice.

The word is "silent". https://twitter.com/arnoldroth/status/1342973792461721600
This video clip has never been included in any mainstream news report: #AhlamTamimi, the Jordanian woman who says openly, for the record, that she bombed the Jerusalem #Sbarro pizzeria and calls it "my operation". Watch the smile as she tells it.
Hashemite Jordan could have denounced her, arrested her, tried her on terrorism charges, handed her to US law enforcement (as the treaty demands). Instead they did this: they let #AhlamTamimi host her own terror-promoting TV show, filmed weekly in Jordan's capital, for 5 years!
Members of Congress from both parties, aware of Jordan's flagrant breach of its extradition treaty with the US, were "briefed" by Jordan's ruler in behind-closed-door meetings last June. Here's what was reported about their discussions:

My wife and I want the indicted bomber of the pizzeria where our daughter, a US citizen, was killed brought to US justice. Despite the treaty, Jordan harbors her. What did law-makers who visited Jordan's royal palace for meetings with the king tell us?
