The first time around it didn't get adequate attention in the US media. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's ban of YouTube occurred after a conversation was leaked between Head of Turkish Intelligence Hakan Fidan and Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoğlu that he wanted removed from the video-sharing website. The leaked call details Erdogan's thoughts that an attack on Syria "must be seen as an opportunity for us [Turkey]". In the conversation, intelligence chief Fidan says that he will send four men from Syria to attack Turkey to "make up a cause of war". http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/turkey-youtube-ban-full-transcript-... |

Quite an understatement. Some of the news outlets deemed it unnecessary to mention what was said in the leaked tapes and instead referred to it as a "military strategy".
