National Security and/or Election Fraud.

* "Iranian activists involved in a classified research project for the marines told the FT the Pentagon was examining the depth and nature of grievances against the Islamic government, and appeared to be studying whether Iran would be prone to a violent fragmentation along the same kind of fault lines that are splitting Iraq.... Diplomats in Washington expressed shock at the possible implications of the Marine Corps research." (link)

* " Military interrogators posing as FBI agents at the U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, wrapped terrorism suspects in an Israeli flag and forced them to watch homosexual pornography under strobe lights during interrogation sessions that lasted as long as 18 hours, according to one of a batch of FBI memos released Thursday... Military interrogators "are adamant that their interrogation strategies are the best ones to use despite a lack of evidence of their success," it said." (link)
jeebus.

* Jonathon at ATR laughs at the evil Pletka cos on Tuesday she wrote an oped in the LATimes complaining that the CIA gets everything wrong "There were, for example, inaccurate warnings... that [Iraq] would erupt into civil war..."
badaboom.

* pletka is such a piece of work. i hate her. read her oped just to see how ridiculous she is. she's complaining that the CIA is a bunch of antiwar handwringers who are always wrong. to prove that the cia is always wrong, she manages to spit this out: "There were, for example, inaccurate warnings that Hussein would share WMD with terrorists..." Note that she doesnt complain that the CIA was wrong that SAddam didnt have any WMD (that idea came from her ilk), no, she complains that the CIA suggested that if he had WMD, some terrorists might get their hands on some. sheesh.

* Wade pleads guilty, faces up to 135 months of incarceration. "Specifically, Wade pled to a four-count information, including one count of conspiring both to bribe Congressman Randall "Duke" Cunningham and to tax evasion; one count of Use of Interstate Facilities to Promote Bribery; one count of conspiring to deprive the Defense Department of the honest services of its employees; and one count of election fraud."

of all the corruption cases we are seeing, i wonder how many will have nothing to do with either National Security and/or Election Fraud.
