Flynt Leverett and Hillary Mann discuss their history of working in the Bush administration and how the nuts in power (my characterization) have long been planning this upcoming war with Iran. It's in Esquire magazine and is free to read online here.

One of the nice things about being a pundit is that your words still remain even when they seem (to those with any sense) embarrassing later on. William Kristol may be wrong about everything all the time, but he's also been consistent on many of his positions. Say what you will, but he's no flip-flopper...

In today's New York Post, there's an article about Iranian defector Ali Reza Asghari, the ex-Deputy Defense Minister. He's now defected and has brought with him a "treasure trove" of documents and maps that will halp justify an attack on Iran.

Dennis Kucinich is on WHUS radio being interviewed by cell phone. He's running late to his meet-and-greet appearance at the University of Connecticut. Some of us might feel that in an ideal world, maybe the guy would have a chance to win. As I listen to his interview I'm starting to wonder if he might be able to do so in this world.

This was actually from Sunday, October 30th, but it doesn't seem to have been diaried. According to an Egyptian-born now Canadian-national aerospace engineer and former US pilot, Hossam Shaltout, Saddam Hussein was ready to give in to all US demands before the invasion but was rebuffed by the US.

Though many CIA agents will concede that torture does not work, never mind the moral implications, our leaders have long been really into it. The torture debate is nothing new.

Back in the Vietnam war, the US built detention centers in which the South Vietnamese would use various methods to extract information from the enemy. Allegations of mistreatment of innocents led to Congressional investigations... Read More

We all know Donald Rumsfeld would like us to see this Iraq war as a struggle on par with that against the Nazis. Sure, it's rarely if ever mentioned that Bush's own Grandpa dealt with the Nazi regime all through WWII. I suppose that would only be treasonous if a Democrat did it (though it might be considered so if our "liberal media" were to pick up on it). But Rumsfeld and Cheney's senses of irony are just as dulled as Bush's is, if not moreso... Read More

In today's Hartford Courant, It is made pretty clear that President Bush, like most Connecticut Republicans, would like to see Joe Lieberman win back his Senate seat in November. While he doesn't outright endorse Joe, he does outright refuse to endorse his own party's nominee, Alan Schlesinger. Obviously he wouldn't want Ned Lamont to take the seat, so that leaves just one guy... Read More

In his latest column, Charles Krauthammer argues (shock of all shocks) that Israel has every right to defend itself (well duh...), and that its actions have not been "disproportionate." at all. While the actions of Israel might seem to many to have gone too far, I find Charlie's logic and use of examples rather interesting either way. Read More

As we all know, Joe Lieberman is trying to seem all calm and unconcerned about Ned Lamont's challenge for the CT Democratic Senator nomination. Meanwhile, he makes silly anti-Lamont ads with cartoon bears suggesting that Lamont is merely a proxy candidate for Lowell Weicker. This is all because Weicker has offered his support to Ned and is helping him fundraise: clearly then he MUST have been behind Ned's very idea to run, right? In another commercial... Read More

The latest Greg Palast book Armed Madhouse will tell the tale of ChoicePoint's latest exploits. We might remember them from such election roll purges as Florida in 2004...Apparently they did such a great job removing convicted Democrats from the voter rolls, they got the contract to supply the government with our personal data!

For a long time, many have thought that Dick Cheney was the "real" President of the US. With Executive Order 13292, Cheney even has powers equal to the office of President to classify and reclassify information. Few if any people in America think the VP (much less this one) should be empowered with such authority. Bush has essentially abdicated his throne to this apparent supervillain whom many always thought was really running the show... Read More
