WAR
* "Pentagon officials emphasized their intention to remain accountable to Congress, but they also asserted that defense intelligence missions are subject to fewer legal constraints than Rumsfeld's predecessors believed. That assertion involves new interpretations of the law... Pentagon lawyers also define the "war on terror" as ongoing, indefinite and global in scope. That analysis effectively discards the limitation of the defense secretary's war powers to times and places of imminent combat." sweet. rumsfeld. myers. cambone. boykin. what a bunch.

* "Two U.S. soldiers with the 1st Cavalry Division were convicted and sentenced Saturday in the death of a civilian female interpreter who was shot in the head in November, the U.S. military said in statements" this story seemed to get buried... no details of punishment... prolly less than badapplegraner got. http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/01/23/iraq.main/index.html

* " Rumsfeld told the German government that he will not attend Munich Security Conference, scheduled for February" - seems he doesnt wanna get arrested, altho he is sending feith - praps its time to file warcrime charges against him too http://www.aljazeera.com/me.asp?service_ID=6706

* "What’s most ironic about Bush’s speech is this: It’s as if suddenly all of the hundreds of tyrants and despots and dictators that the United States created, supported and sustained during the Cold War didn’t exist. As if the United States has always stood for freedom and democracy around the world, rather than tyranny... Bush nodded in the direction of how that’s changed: “America's vital interests and our deepest beliefs are now one.” Someone needs to ask him: Were they one before? Or is this new? Were they one when we supported scores of dictators? Is that all in the past? " http://www.tompaine.com/print/freedoms_jihad.php

* ""If he's going to take that speech to Europe," said a top Canadian official who attended the meeting between Bush and Martin, "he's not going to get a good reception."... "His importance as a world leader will turn out to be far larger than the sort of tactical issues that are widely debated and for which he is sometimes reviled," said Richard Perle" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A29413-2005Jan22.html

* "The Beast 50 Most Loathsome People in America, 2004" ari2 ranks above anncoulter. awesome.
48. Scott McClellan
Crimes: Completely hollow. Able to regurgitate any message programmed into him without regard to its validity or internal logic. A human void, capable of sapping the virtue away from the most idealistic reporter within three jokey, familiar, stonewalling press conferences.
Smoking Gun: Hasn’t killed himself.
Punishment: Locked in a room for eternity with a camera that sprays spitting cobra venom in his eyes every time he speaks.
