WART
* " The United States has been conducting secret reconnaissance missions inside Iran to help identify potential nuclear, chemical and missile targets, The New Yorker magazine reported Sunday... One former high-level intelligence official told The New Yorker, "This is a war against terrorism, and Iraq is just one campaign. The Bush administration is looking at this as a huge war zone. Next, we're going to have the Iranian campaign."" (i cant find the article @ newyorker yet) http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=topNews&storyID=7337636
* heres syhersh re iran on blitzer. http://movies.ziaspace.com/SYLateEd.wmv (brd - watch this one)
* it turns out that its news that the first iraqi expat to register to vote is an ozzie - what with the timezones and all. (i saw it on cnni & local sbs) - i didnt really listen to the cnni report, but the sbs report had this lovely bit "there are only voting sites in melbourne and sydney and shepparton (!) - so iraqis not living in these areas, or in detention, will likely not be able to vote" - "or in detention"??????? fuck off off off. (ftr - it seemed that the sbs piece was canned - ie imported from some other station. but still.)
* btw - im not sure why Mahmoud Abbas immediately gets called to account for not stopping bombings and the such when allawi seems to get away with it in iraq.
AMDOM
* btw - it seems that part of armstrongs defense is that at first it was only for 6 months, but it was going so well they decided to renew it. wtf?
* if someone wants to assasinate the president, is that called 'terrorism'?
* i miss the ohio not-a-sniper
* speaking of sbs (which i generally like) there was an interview with graner's dad which i hadnt seen elsewhere "heres a message for parents - dont let your sons grow up to be soldiers"
* speaking of sbs, they are advertising for a show tomorrow night about called "September 11 Didn't Happen" - subtitle 'the death of reality' or some such - of course, nobody suggests September 11 Didn't Happen. maybe i dont like sbs anymore.
