* nyt ed calls bush a liar and a denier (link)

* i saw an absurd episode on Hannity&colmes surprisingly - dennis kucinich was on (for some reason), and hannity was being a complete spaz - but the funny part was that H&C apaprently recently discovered the 'smoking gun' that iraq actually really did have WMD!!! who knew? apparently everyone in th world knew - cos H&C just replayed a dodgy segment of powells UN speech - old news, and long debunked. they must be really fucking scared if they are reachng back to that speech for 'evidence'. (foxhunds has more)
hysterical. and why isnt kucinich president?

* " A year after the invasion, according to official U.S. figures, the average number of insurgent attacks on Coalition and Iraqi forces was less than 200 per week. The number of attacks in October 2005, however, is now at its highest level ever: more than 550 attacks per week. The average number of civilian casualties per day is also at the highest recorded figure: more than 60 per day." (link)

* one of the funniest elements of the woodward story is that he had 18 pages of questions, and 5 pages of answers. brilliant.

* cnn: "Dozens of families have returned to what is left of their homes (in nola) and found, lying amidst the mold and the wreckage, a body, forgotten, abandoned. Maybe it's their mother or their grandmother, sometimes even their missing child." (via here)
