Christa Case Bryant
I once heard a seasoned foreign correspondent challenge fellow journalists with a question: When did we decide that only the bad stories count as news?
The Monitor鈥檚 answer is evident in our lineup this morning, starting with a piece on US mass killings dropping to a 20-year low 鈥� and what鈥檚 behind that. And Scott Peterson, a veteran war correspondent, reports from Beirut on the Lebanese government getting serious about disarming Hezbollah, a US-designated terrorist group that has long been the de facto power in southern Lebanon. Lastly, our editorial points to glimmers of hope in Haiti, thanks to getting a berth in the World Cup tournament.
