In case you missed it, Time magazine has learned of “unreleased, classified” sections of the report on prison abuse and it appears there are some deeply disturbing reports of Americans abusing female prisoners, including some as young as 17. In a Feb. 21 statement to Taguba, Lieut. Colonel Steven L. Jordan, former head of the […]
The LA Times had an article on the front page yesterday highlighting a key 9/11 Commission conclusion: al Queda and Osama bin Laden enjoyed support from Saudi Arabia and Pakistan prior to the 9/11 attacks. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia helped set the stage for the Sept. 11 attacks by cutting deals with the Taliban and […]
Here’s another one that I’m a little behind on, but wanted to mention anyway. (Sometimes I use this site as a notepad for things I might want to reference again later…) We already know Dick Cheney has been the worst abuser of the myth surrounding the “link” between al Queda and Saddam Hussein.

For cryin’ out loud, what does a White House criminal investigation have to do to get some attention around here? We know someone at the White House leaked the identity of an undercover CIA agent. We also know that several top vice presidential aides are leading suspects, that the VP (without telling anyone) sat down […]
Bob Novak reminded us yesterday why it’s hopeless — I mean it; literally impossible — to argue with some conservatives, especially when it comes to Clinton. The truth is, they just don’t care about logic or reason, making informed debate not just unfeasible, but downright unbearable. Meet the Press spent (read: wasted) an interminable length […]
After missing Friday, I’m afraid I’m too far behind to really delve into the details of how many times White House officials have deceived the public about the non-existent connection between al Queda and Saddam Hussein’s regime. By this point, you’ve probably read/seen it all. But just the fun of it, here are a couple […]
