Middle, America (lebanon, kansas)

* "Brig. Gen. Robert Caslen, who evidently has the title Deputy Director for the War on Terrorism, says of terrorists, “We are not killing them faster than they are being created.” No kidding, but you have to love the choice of the word “created.”" (link)

* "In other news, the New York Times is reporting the National Archives have directed intelligence agencies to stop removing thousands of previously declassified historical documents that had previously been available to the public. The program began in 1999 and intensified after President Bush took office. Documents that have been re-classified include intelligence estimates from the Korean war and reports on “Communism” in Mexico in the 1960s." (link)
wow. they actually stopped doing something.

* WIIIAI: "(Bush) says that when he meets Afghans, “they always ask me -- they ask me with their words and they ask me with their stares, as they look in my eyes” [George may not be too good with the English language, but he speaks fluent stare.] "

* atrios points to this cnn transcript where they visit Middle, America (lebanon, kansas) to see what people think of the nominated movies and to show how outta touch hollywood is. i've seen some similar pieces this week - finally, one movie guy snapped and asked them incredulously "you think kansas is middle america???"
