After a week of hearing how we would embolden the terrorists because of the Democrats anti-surge resolution, we find out something really interesting: Terrorism charges brought Friday against the administrator of a loan investment program claimed that he secretly tried to send $152,000 to the Middle East to buy equipment such as night vision […]
This is just to interesting to pass up: A daughter of U.S. Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was arrested Monday night in Wheaton and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and child endangerment, Wheaton Deputy Police Chief Thomas Meloni said. Ann S. Banaszewski, 45, was stopped about 7:25 p.m. in a 1996 Ford […]
Melissa McEwen of Shakespeare’s Sister has resigned as part-time technical advisor for the Edward’s Campaign. Chris has her full release over at MyDD. I don’t like the fact that Melissa had to resign from the campaign, but it was the right choice. The wingnuts had a field day with some posts she made, and those […]
Remember last year when Clinton had that sit down with Chris Wallace on FOX News? He was tired of everyone saying he caused 9/11, so he let Chris know about it. The wingnuts quickly jumped on it and was calling him things like “unhinged”. Well CNN just re-aired the Wolf Blitzer interview of Dick Cheney. […]
All the arguments last year over the warrentless wiretapping, and all the spin by wingnuts to say it is legal has now come to an end: President George W. Bush has decided not to reauthorize the controversial domestic warrantless surveillance program for terrorism suspects and to put it under the authority of a secret special […]
This is very interesting and it will be even more interesting to see how the wingnuts try and spin it: Just before noon today, a petition signed by about a thousand members of the military will be delivered to Congress by about 50 active-duty officers. The petition calls for the withdrawal of all troops from […]
The right-wing meme about Iraq and Bush has always been “we haven’t been attacked since 9/11”. When you try to use the same for Clinton, saying before 9/11, we weren’t attacked since the first WTC bombing, they quickly point to bombings of our embassies and of the Cole. A few months ago, we saw our […]
Today’s New York Times has a very interesting article that requires a thorough reading. It details how an American contractor was held in an American military prison in Iraq for more than 90 days without access to a lawyer. Furthermore, this person was wrongly jailed. He was an informant for the FBI into possible contractor […]
Funny that when Biden says something like this, he gets chastised by the wingnuts. It will of course be different when you got a 2008 GOP Presidential hopeful saying it: Republican presidential hopeful Sam Brownback said Thursday that Iraq must achieve a “political equilibrium” even if means partitioning the country along ethnic lines. “I’m saying, […]
That is what the Iraq Study Group is now calling Bush’s failed war in Iraq. The United States should begin to withdraw its forces from combat in Iraq and launch a diplomatic push, including Iran and Syria, to prevent “a slide toward chaos” in the country, a high-level panel recommended on Wednesday. The bipartisan Iraq […]
