This is somewhat of a follow-up toWelshman's diary yesterday about the Los Angeles Times article that revealed US Army secret documents on flash memory sticks being sold in an Afghan market. The memory sticks were stolen from Bagram Airbase, the main US base in Afghanistan. The LA Times has followed up its original story with a new revelation that the problem continues despite ongoing Army efforts to track down and retrieve stolen computer hardware. Read More

Right now, the GOP is trying to figure out how to hold on to the party base for the November elections. The stakes are high, because the Bush administration would face investigations and impeachment proceedings if the Democrats get control of the Congress. Although I have completely given up on the Republicans, I haven't gotten around to changing my party registration. Thus, I got a fundraising letter the other day from Ken Mehlman, chairman of the Republican National Committee. Like many such letters, it included a pretend yes/no/undecided questionnaire as if Mehlman wanted to know my opinion on the issues.

I think this questionnaire is worth sharing here so that we can go over the list of what the GOP apparently regards as winning issues. These do not include Iraq, Katrina or prescription drugs. See the extended section for the questions and my answers. Read More

In the extended section is a brief look back at the stated objectives of Bush and Rumsfeld, and some interesting links. Read More
