murdered for an NYT op-ed?

* "Lawyers for a Guantanamo detainee asked the Supreme Court on Monday to consider blocking military tribunals for terror suspects, and overturn what they called an extreme ruling by high court nominee John Roberts... "Its decision vests the president with the ability to circumvent the federal courts and time-tested limits on the executive."" (link)
you scratch my back, i'll suck your dick

* does it make any sense to anyone the Steven Vincent was murdered for an NYT op-ed? me either

* blair is snubbing robin cooks funeral. is that the worst decision ever? (link)

* "But (Robin Cook's) record notwithstanding, for most people Cook was "one of the good guys" (as a friend of mine put it), someone who stood for a different vision of Labour party, one that didn't invade foreign countries and lie to its own people. That vision was always a mirage, but Cook's passing also marks the passing of that mirage." (link)

* James Carville: "My sense is he's coming after more people at the New York Times. He's going subpoena Bill Keller and all of them and ask them what Judy Miller told them. And if they don't talk, he's going to stick them in jail." (link)
