[lbo-talk] AP publishes a 'censored' copy of the Obama Cairo speech transcript without notification that it is an abridged transcript

[Bryan Atinsky]

Yah, I saw the whole transcript published several places after I 
couldn't find what I was looking for in the AP versions, I just find it 
strange that the only missing part is that.  Could that be accidental? 
transcriber had to take a piss when Obama started discussing 
Israel/Palestine?

Just strange.
