First we got the Military Times Group, who is responsible for publishing the Army Times and all the other main military magazines, publishing a rare joint editorial on Monday. That editorial is saying “Rumsfeld must go”: “So long as our government requires the backing of an aroused and informed public opinion … it is necessary […]
This is a very serious question. When you look at the responses today from the GOP over the NYT’s article on the government having nuclear secrets published on the web.

A new study has estimated the Iraqi death toll at 655,000 since the start of the invasion. This study was conducted using a new method: Researchers used household interviews rather than body counts to estimate how many more Iraqis had died because of the war than used to die annually in peacetime. “We estimate that […]
Why does the GOP want Foley on the front page? Because they don’t want news like this becoming the focus point of the 24/7 news cycle: The number of U.S troops wounded in Iraq has surged to its highest monthly level in nearly two years as American GIs fight block-by-block in Baghdad to try to […]

The letter recalled clashes between the IAEA […]
You can tell McCain is really starting to worry about his chances for a White House run in 2008: Republican Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), a staunch defender of the Iraq war, on Tuesday faulted the Bush administration for misleading Americans into believing the conflict would be “some kind of day at the […]

Ken Mehlman has laid out his party’s strategy for 2006 and guess what? It is the same as 2004 and 2002: The head of the Republican Party accused Democrats of being willing to surrender the tools necessary to combat terrorism as the GOP tries to capitalize on its national security advantage in a tough election […]
