So the CIA keeps a list of their employees killed in the course of action and they are on the
memorial wall

Some of these people's names have been released, while some are classified. In the accompanying "Book of Honor", you can see that during 2003, there is one star for whom the name is still classified. Now the preceding CIA employee, Helge P. Boes, was killed on February 5, 2003, while William Francis Carlson was killed in action on October 25, 2003.

This effectively brackets the death of the unknown CIA agent as occurring between Feb. 5 and Oct. 25, 2003, which corresponds with the time that Valerie Plame and the CIA front company Brewster-Jennings were exposed.

This is what we will hear in few months. People are going to demand the President work with the new Congress.
What better way then to very graciously award one of those 'centrists' (who we thought that were on their way out, as I was told all night by people way smarter than me...for months and months) a sweet position in his cabinet. As this election showed, the 'New Blue' [patent pending], centrist Dems, led by 'New Blue' (new and improved) Leiberman are willing to work/walk across the aisle.
Since the President made such a concession, the least we could do is not stand in the way of getting rid of Social security.
Then the Republican governor of CT will appoint a Republican to Joe's seat and all will be nice and great with the new Republican Senate.
True?

I wrote this letter to submit to the local paper here in Wyoming. I am a little scared to send it, as I am afraid it could get me shot, being that I insinuate (with evidence of course) that Republicans are the party of al Qaeda.
Though I am uncomfortable with anybody leveling such charges here in the US, the events of the past week have so pissed me off that I am trying to convince myself that my letter is more fair than what regularily gets passed out on cable news.
Anyways a few comments would be appreciated. Read More

Ann Coulter's main problem with the 9/11 widows and Cindy Sheehan is that because of their positions when they comment in public it is embarrasing to push back. She thinks that the left is trotting out widows in some devious human shield plot because once they shamed the government into setting up the 9/11 Commission, they should have went home and got remarried and left the politikin' to the real blowhards like herself.
Well I am wondering why it is that all of the people that are "infallible" as I believe she put it are lining up on the left? It doesn't have to be this way. So to the Republican operatives trolling the site, here is a battle plan for you, free of charge.

Owing to a law in Texas that prohibits candidates from winning an election and then dropping out and keeping the money they raised, a temporary injunction has been place against the Texas Republicans to stop them from naming another candidate for his seat.
DeLay tried to circumvent this law by declaring he now lived in Virginia (why a tough on crime state like Texas would let someone under indictment move to another state is a whole other story), but a Texas Court ruled that enough smelled in his story, including statements to a newspaper that he had no intention of running after the primary, that they should look into it further Read More

Sen. Mike Enzi was sponsoring legislation in the Senate getting rid of most state mandates for what types of health screening insurers should cover. This lowest common denominator healthcare was attacked by most health organizations like diabetes and cancer screening advocates. There was a few good diaries last week on it here (sorry I can't look up and link; have to hit and run). Read More

Hi, This is an action alert. It is a small point, but just the sort of story that you can use to piss off wingers. I heard that Arnold Schwarzenegger is going to be on This Week on ABC tomorrow. Among the topics they will be discussing is immigration.
When Arnold came to this country, it appears that he broke numerous immigration laws, thus I think he was in the country "illegally." You can read about it here.

Hi, Sitting here thinking about all the immigration posturing going on, and on a hunch I googled Arnold Schwarznegger's immigration status.
I came across this article.
Does anyone know if this is real or not? Is he really one of those people who flaunt our laws and make our country less safe?
Are the same people who are calling ALL illegal aliens felonious the same ones who wanted to change the Constitution to allow one to run for President?

Hi, I tried to post a long involved diary as advice regarding
this diary, but DKOS ate it.
Here is short version.
Say something like this, if Indian money is bad, then either you are racist or you are assuming a guilt by association that runs to even those who got screwed by Abramoff. If that is the standard, then how sleazy is your representative?
Here are links to the two letters I reference (including one by a Repub. county chairman).

Cheney NRA speech exerpt:

Dick Cheney gave a speech to the NRA in April of 2004. It is notable that he said the following words (bold text is my emphasis):

The right to own a firearm carries serious responsibilities, which your organization and our administration, well understand. The NRA has long led the way in promoting gun safety, and in advocating the toughest penalties for those who commit crimes with firearms. This belief in personal responsibility has guided our criminal justice policy these last three years. As a result, since President Bush took office, federal prosecutions of crimes committed with guns have increased 68 percent - sending - -- sending the clearest possible message to any person who would threaten or harm another innocent person with a gun. As the President has said, "If you use a gun illegally, you will do hard time."

So obviously not having the proper stamps are considered using a gun "illegally". And the VP was released with a warning. Is somebody going to bring up whether this is in line with "advocating the toughest penalties for those who commit crimes with firearms"?

Vulnerable Repub House incumbent in red Wyoming

More empirical evidence that a 50 state strategy is working and doable. Even in Wyoming, one of the reddest states (though >60% pro choice interestingly enough),
an incumbent representative, Barbara Cubin is looking vulnerable.
Her opponent, Gary Trauner, has raised as much money as her lately, and even though he has little name recognition, is within striking distance.
A few weeks back Cubin denied that she had signed on as cosponsor to a Pombo bill that would have sold most public lands in WY (for a pittance) even though her name was clearly on it. She claimed she was for it before she was against or something like that (I can't really blame her for getting mixed up on what she is signing up for in this era of midnight legislation, ha, ha). Since she had recently supported that other mining lands sell off I don't think many people believe her.
I am currently writing a LTE for the paper above (WY statewide paper) detailing a lot of Abramhoff links, including the fact she used his skybox for fundraising quite a bit. Hope it helps her standing a bit more.
