Maybe we should put this up as a query on Daily Kos? I have an account there, but I don't want to put it up unless you think it's okay, since we sort of developed the story together. What do you think?

Something like...

Call For Arabic Speakers to Investigate Petraeus

and then the blurb from US News and World Report, and a call for people to scan the net for references to previous recipients.

But it has to be exactly the "Gold Award of the Order of the Date Palm," or some very minor variation, or else the whole thing gets too ambiguous.

(I only posted on European Tribune out of admiration for Jerome, and the rest of it is just a sad joke.)
