[IMC-Boston-Editorial] Why is this hidden?

[sharpie at riseup.net]

Well... I don't understand the comment either, however a bit of cultural
anthropology about Jordan...

In Jordan there is a joke that goes something like this, Jordan has a
population of 5 million, 1 million Jordanians, 4 million Palestinians, and
2 million Iraqis.

Essentially in an ethnographic manner, Jordan really is sort of like
Palestine 2....

anyway, i agree that it seems weird to hide this, but at the same time, i
don't really care...

peace
