I sent the interview in the NYT with Walid `Idu to As-Safir and to Al-Akbar newspapers in Lebanon. I noticed that the Lebanese media (from what I have seen thus far) ignored it. Only Al-Akhbar mentioned it on the first page. (An-Nahar's correspondent in DC also cited the remarks by `Idu and the report was on the first page of An-Nahar). (Do you know that this buffoon `Idu's daughter is now married to the son of my first cousin (on my mother's side)?)
