That’s how many times those military “analysts” identified by the NYT were quoted, according to Media Matters.

Who turned out to be not quite so dangerous or guilty:
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) — The Pentagon has dropped charges against a Saudi at Guantanamo who was alleged to have been the so-called “20th hijacker” in the Sept. 11 attacks, his U.S. military defense lawyer said Monday.
Mohammed al-Qahtani was one of six men charged […]

Feeling safer yet?
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Bush administration on Friday urged a federal appeals court to stop meatpackers from testing all their animals for mad cow disease, but a skeptical judge questioned whether the government has that authority.
The government seeks to reverse a lower court ruling that allowed Kansas-based Creekstone Farms Premium Beef to conduct […]

And of course this will probably be used as yet another compelling reason why we have to attack Iran:
BEIRUT, Lebanon (AP) — Hezbollah gunmen seized control of several Beirut neighborhoods from Sunni foes loyal to the U.S.-backed government on Friday as sectarian clashes reminiscent of Lebanon’s bloody 15-year civil war raged in the capital.

As rumored for years, yes, cheerful war criminal Donald Rumsfeld was pushing Bush for “regime change” in Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Lebanon:
Rumsfeld’s proposal called explicitly for postponing indefinitely U.S. airstrikes and the use of ground forces in support of the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance in order to try to catch bin Laden. Instead the […]

“Oh, they’re not as bad as Nixon.”
Actually, yes they are - and so far, they’re getting away with it. Thanks, librul media!
You really need to read this.

Via Covert History:
Ray McGovern, a career U.S. intelligence officer, believes President Bush and his administration have no intention of leaving Iraq and are preparing to attack Iran in the next few months.
“I believe George Bush and Dick Cheney plan to take care of Iran before they leave office. But what will happen then, if Iran […]

I’m sure there’s nothing behind this story. Nope, nothing to see here, move along. Because I trust my government and I know it’s above reproach:

Not too many bloggers have been writing about this, which is a shame. This is an absolutely shameless partisan ruling, and if I believed in hell, I would think that Tony Scalia and his little SCOTUS friends will burn there for eternity:
The Supreme Court’s decision upholding Indiana’s vote ID law was unable to secure 5 […]

Here we go again:
Eight years after the debacle of “hanging chads,” Florida once again seems to be courting electoral trouble. A handful of laws have been passed since the 2000 presidential recount, with state officials saying they bring order to a chaotic system.
“Some say we err on the side of caution,” said Joe Pickens, a […]

Juan Cole:
The Israelis already have the Gaza Strip under military siege, carefully controlling what and who goes in and out of it. They have now cut off most fuel, and the United Nations has been forced to stop distributing food aid.
This Israeli government action is an unvarnished war crime. It is known as collective punishment. […]

Unbelievable. So what did we get for our money? Billions and billions of dollars spent on this war, big political contributors fattening their bank accounts and this is how we ask returning soldiers to live?

I’m sorry to be inappropriate, but I find it hard not to laugh when someone uses the words “Bush” and “efficiency” in the same sentence:
Joseph Wassmann thought he had a secure position producing videos for the U.S. Military Academy, but not long ago he found his job on the line because of a Bush administration […]
