Apparently, not only is the executive branch so powerful and so omniscient it doesn’t exist, those who used to be known as the members of it – President Bush and Dick Cheney have decided that laws are for other people. Two deals the administration is working on would effectively protect corporate America from [...]
NIE Spin & Bush – We’re still going to war if he can swing it

As we all know and reported on earlier here, the new release of the National Intelligence Estimate makes the Powell UN speech look like childs play.

The Washington Post is running a story today about what constitutes a sectarian killing. These numbers are, apparently, critical to the Bush administration’s assurances that the war is being won because sectarian deaths are going down, as evidenced by such statistics. The political utility of such nuance is clear, but the reality remains [...]
