My condolences on your loss. And you have composed an elegant eulogy.

NIE REPORT ON IRANIAN NUKES: QUALIFIED GOOD NEWS
According to the WaPo, Bush was first advised of this turnabout from the 2005 NIE in a preliminary briefining in August. He was only given the formal consensus a week ago. He has not been sitting on this thing for a year as you assert. Indeed, a lot of people are probably questioning why he would release this days before the UN meets to consider the next round of sanctions. The reason is clearly because he would be villified if he did not put this out until afterwards and then people really could claim he was being deliberately deceptive.
The NIE leaves a lot of questions unanswered.
The claim that "international pressure" from sanctions were the cause of Iran's decision cease its covert nuclear weapons program is tough to square with their refusal to fully cooperate with the IAEA, therby removing the existing sanctions and the threat of future sanctions. Likewise, there is just insufficient information in the NIE to give one an indepnednet warm and fuzzy feeling about their conclusions. That said, like you, I will give our intel folks the benefit of the doubt.Its unforgivable though that the NIE ignored Iraq. The NIE ignores the two huge elephants in the room - i.e., what role our invasion of Iraq played in Iran's 2003 decision to stop their covert nuclear weapons program, and what role our continued presence in Iraq is effecting their decision to keep the program in stasis.

GOLDBERG ON TORTURE: SOPHISTRY ON A STICK
"phychic DISCOMFORT or physical INCONVIENCE"

Let's hope that none of our prisoners of war would ever have any "discomfort or inconvience" while in our care.
Honestly Rick, I don't know where you get this stuff. You sound fairly sane most of the time.
"THE PATH TO 9/11" SCRUTINZED UNFAIRLY
Leaving politics to the side for a moment, I thought the film was very well crafted. There were good performances. The direction and shooting style gave you a feeling of being there.

We are not looking for truth. We are looking to cover our collective butts. We are a jihadist dream come true. They'll just wait on the sidelines while we self destruct. There is enough blame to go around.

It is ridiculous to compare the impact of the Reagan docu-drama to this.
Just like with Cindy S H N. I'm not sure why you would even acknowledge or allow someone like K. Ol rmn to grace your widely read blog. Your blog probaly has more exposure than what he recieves nightly. Why give him any more.

YOU WIN SOME, YOU LOSE SOME...YOU DIE SOME
Richard- Please take the link that The Political Pit Bull gives you above and educate yourself on why this judge and others like her are wrong and are playing out a dangerous political agenda. Who cares if Clinton was mistreated. Your hate is very blinding.

No, the enemy and the rotten cowards are those who hate this president so much that they would do anything, including ignoring national security, for some bizarre thrill of disrupting any agenda of this administration.
You and others like you have put millions at risk because of this idiotic vendetta. Hopefully actions like this ruling will motivate those voters who can make a difference in Nov. to defeat those like yourself who have little or no disregard for the safety of their fellow Americans.

HOWARD DEAN IS A TWO-FACED LYING WEASEL
If Howard Dean were the coach for my biggest rival I would hope that he keeps that position until he no longer draws a breath. You couldn't do more damage to the demos than he does daily. It is free!

Once again the left totally misses the point and puts themselves in the position of defending reprehensible acts because of their hate.
