war criminals

* mydd's 2nd poll release is out. one highlight: "A majority of Republicans in this survey are not very worried about capturing Osama Bin Laden. Only a quarter are very or extremely worried. The difference here between Democrats and Republicans is gaping."
they'll have more on monday

* Eli wonders why none of the media reports about hamas don't include words like: "Despite efforts by the U.S. and other Western governments to ensure a victory by Fatah, Hamas swept to victory..."

* "(AP) President Bush will use his new budget to propose cutting the size of the Army Reserve to its lowest level in three decades and stripping up to $4 billion from two fighter aircraft programs." (link)
hmmm. that's something i never thought i'd read. i wonder what the non-AP spin will be - something altogether different, methinx.

"A White House leak revealing astonishing details of how Tony Blair and George Bush lied about the Iraq war is set to cause a worldwide political storm.

A new book exposes how the two men connived to dupe the United Nations and blows the lid off Mr Blair's claim that he was a restraining influence on Mr Bush.

The revelations make a nonsense of Mr Blair's claim that the final decision was not made until MPs voted in the Commons 24 hours before the war - and could revive the risk of him being charged with war crimes or impeached by Parliament itself." (link)

it's a tough day to be a war criminal
