Now we quote Al Qaeda.

* glenn: "Of course Gonzales begins his Opening Statement by quoting Osama bin Laden and Zawahri. We used to quote Madison, Jefferson and Lincoln to decide what the principles of our Government are going to be. Now we quote Al Qaeda. " (link)

* "When the US didn’t capture Osama Bin Laden in Afghanistan, it wasn’t by mistake, Congressman Maurice Hinchey of Hurley theorized.
Instead, Hinchey said the Administration had a motive for not capturing him. “Why did we do that? The only logical answer that comes to mind is they didn’t want to capture Bin Laden because if they captured Bin Laden and wiped out the Taliban, which they could have done at that moment, there would have been no justification for going to war in Iraq, and they wanted to use that as a justification for attacking Iraq,” he said."

* xymphora takes on the cartoons - here, here and here - read that last one at a minimum: "They would have kept publishing until they got the response they wanted."

* read emptywhee'ls latest take: "One Scandal per Administration? No." i blogcrush her. a lot. apparently she works *and* is married *and* is a crotch-scratching sports-fan - and knows a lot more about everything than i do. i don't quite know how that's possible. i haven't even read the latest releases from fitz yet - but EW has already considered how many letters fit into each redaction and which words might fit into those spaces (as have others, including our own viget)

* here's EW's take on the latest fitz affadavit: "How Many Times Did Libby Talk To Novak?"
