Everyone is very busy worrying about the campaign. Yet just recently the 2001anthrax affair again burst into the news.
A former Fort Detrick scientist committed suicide. But I do remember this whole mess. It was just before the Patriot act was passed, and the targets of the attack were anti-war Democratic Senators, along with some news […]

Now in Japan, we have the G-8 summit in our northern island of Hokkaido. Frankly, I am not expecting anything momentous to come out of this. However, I did catch George Bush in a sound bite on the news the other day. Basically he was saying that America will not do anything to reduce CO2 […]

Bushco is busy setting up a side deal with Iraq whereby we provide security forever, unilaterally decided by Bush without Congressional approval or oversight. That’s called a treaty and based on my read of that dusty piece of paper also known as the Constitution, things called treaties must be approved by Congress. Think Obama […]

Set your TiVo if you can’t tear yourself away from those magical Oscar red carpet moments, but 60 Minutes is running a long awaited piece on the damage that Bushco’s Justice Department has done to our political process. It’s harrowing. Alberto’s gang, with the active participation of Karl Rove, railroaded Alabama’s Democratic […]

60 Minutes just aired an amazing piece about the interrogation of Saddam Hussein by a very shrewd FBI field agent. Among the nuggets in this is the entire undoing of the rationale for Bush’s rain of terror. Yes, Saddam hated and feared Osama Bin Laden and would have nothing to do with al […]

Destroy the tapes. Feign amnesia and repeat after me, “I don’t recall.” After all, better to be thought incompetent than proved a criminal.

Scott McClellan’s revelations about the Decider and Lord Cheney didn’t energize a right wing owned “liberal media” to give l’affaire Plame legs this Thanksgiving weekend.  It’s tryptophan city… A clearly impeachable offense has turned into a cruise to nowhere.  A Hollywood movie is coming out to glorify Texas Dem and ex-congressman Charlie Wilson, who effectively created […]

Barack Hussein Obama says we shouldn’t return to the “divisive” rhetoric… well, I don’t know where the likes of him and Shrum and Frum and the rest of them bobbleheads have been cuz we never left the Plains of Divisiveness.  Remember when Lyndon Johnson was around…  Labor Day used to mean something.  Welcome to post […]

One would think the author of that best sellier would have spoken out mightily when our fearless leader likened the ”war of lies” in Iraq with Viet Nam.  When the other shoe first dropped in 2002 plenty of Dem pols, NGOers, talking heads, early bloggers and other sundry wonks were using the “V word” bringing several offensive and […]

Your government said that.
Sources also have told The Post that the detainees almost universally told the ICRC that they made up stories to get the harsh interrogations to stop, possibly leading U.S. officials astray with bad intelligence.
Immorality without purpose is amorality.
I keep hearing the new talking point against Democrats, that they’re “invested in defeat.” Until […]
