That’s what the nation’s chief spook said: The nation’s intelligence chief says that waterboarding “would be torture” if used against him, or if someone under interrogation was taking water into his lungs. But Mike McConnell declined for legal reasons to say whether the technique categorically should be considered torture. So we now are a nation […]
This is getting ridiculous. Last month we hears how Iran was stopping the flow of bombs into Iraq. Now we are hearing that they are escalating it. We can never get a straight story from this administration on anything as it pertains to Iran. It would be nice to have a Congress that takes this […]
Congress has just approved an additional $70 billion for the wars. Did everyone enjoy the fight the Democrats put up for it? I sure did (end of sarcasm).
The Soviet Union isn’t gone – it has just moved to America: The N.S.A.’s reliance on telecommunications companies is broader and deeper than ever before, according to government and industry officials, yet that alliance is strained by legal worries and the fear of public exposure. To detect narcotics trafficking, for example, the government has been […]
You get to stay away from the doctor and hospitals and maybe even having your life saved! President Bush vetoed legislation Wednesday that would have expanded government-provided health insurance for children, his second slap-down of a bipartisan effort in Congress to dramatically increase funding for the popular program.

Jamie Leigh Jones, now 22, says that after she was raped by multiple men at a KBR camp in the Green Zone, […]
Watching Bush’s press conference and it’s obvious he is on edge, but still he lies like crazy. Yesterday we found out he has been lying to this country and the world about Iran’s nuclear weapons program. He is saying that this changes nothing in his assertions because they had a program. Catch that – they […]
Yesterday the news broke of Giuliani and his possible funneling of funds to support some nice vacations. So how does that Washington Post respond? By this front page hit on Obama: Despite his denials, rumors and e-mails circulating on the Internet continue to allege that Obama (D-Ill.) is a Muslim, a “Muslim plant” in a […]
Apparently not: You are not going to believe this, well, actually you will… According to Karl Rove (on Charlie Rose), the Bush Administration did not want Congress to vote on the Iraq War resolution in the fall of 2002, because they thought it should not be done within the context of an election. Rove, you […]
