Making caging lists to disqualify black soldiers from voting doesn't help either

When Monica Goodling testified before the House Judiciary Committee last month, she admitted that U.S. attorney/Republican operative Tim Griffin was involved in creating caging lists of minority voters:

As Palast points out—and Griffin himself has observed—the American media barely touched this story, and Griffin has yet to explain the e-mails or the lists. He did tell The New Yorker's Jane Mayer last March that "caging is not a derogatory term. ... [I]t's a direct-mail term. It derives from caging categories of mail in steel shelves and files." Still, that hardly explains why he was allegedly caging only transient African-American voters in those shelves or files, which would likely violate the Voting Rights Act.

Yet today, in an article on the problems with casting ballots while abroad, the New York Times makes no mention of these caging lists, despite those lists being a big story just two weeks ago. Funny how that works in the "liberal media", isn't it?
