Condoleezza Rice leaked national defense information to AIPAC)

* there's a curious headline in the Aussie news this morning: 'An Australian soldier has been confirmed dead in Iraq from a single gun shot wound to the head. The death was not related to combat activity'
fragging or suicide?

* "Meanwhile, hassling Arab visitors and making their visas difficult to get and being mean to them while they are here is costing the US $20 billion a year in lost tourism, and universities have lost $42 million in tuition money, and hospitals have lost wealthy Arab patients. My guess is that we are also losing big time in the area of exports to the Arab world, and that these losses will accelerate over time." (link)

* AP:

"Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice leaked national defense information to (AIPAC) in the same manner that landed a lower-level Pentagon official a 12-year prison sentence, the lobbyist's lawyer said Friday...
The allegations against Rice came as a federal judge granted a defense request to issue subpoenas sought by the defense for Rice and three other government officials in the trial of Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman...
Lowell said it is impossible for Rosen and Weissman to determine what is sensitive national defense information when they are receiving the information from government officials who presumably understand national security law and therefore would not improperly disclose national defense information."

to jail, to jail.
