Many of you have followed the action-packed race in the Illinois Sixth District Democratic primary. From Christine Cegelis' remarkable 2004 race against Henry Hyde, to the DCCC's efforts to find someone a little less independent (and having to go outside of the district to do so -- to someone who hasn't ever voted in a Democratic primary in Illinois!), to the involvement of national political figures, it's been quite a whirlwind.

And Tuesday is D-Day. And you can help -- no matter WHERE you live.

Judith Miller's entire justification for going to jail is that if a reporter ever reveals a source, then no future source would ever be able to trust her again. It's the one strike & you're out rule.

Which makes the following tale so incredibly damning:

Al Jazeera is reporting that "an official at Iraq's health ministry" gave a press conference today in the health ministry building in Baghdad at which he claimed that "U.S. occupation forces used internationally prohibited substances, including mustard gas, nerve gas, and other burning chemicals" during the most recent attacks on Fallujah.

In other words, we have found the weapons of mass destruction, and they are ours.

It's hard to put too much faith in the accuracy of the article, as it's uncorroborated by any source I can find in a quick look around the Web. But isn't it worth investigating? Read More

In Friday's Editor & Publisher article Gannon made a lot of claims in an effort to put the entire story to bed. I know he's been all over the airwaves, but this seems to be the most complete airing of his post-quitting, pre-Americablog position I've seen in print.

We know he was being less than forthright about the extent of his involvement with the so-called "sex sites." However, everything else does flow into a kind of narrative that could almost work.

Two of his key assertions contradict what kossacks thought we knew:

That he had been subpoenaed and appeared before a grand jury. (Intsead he claims to have been interviewed by two FBI agents last year.)
That Talon News existed well before he joined on.
