1. I like it

it's kinda one-sided, which I know isn't bad it's just a better source if they slam both sides. Like www.factcheck.org or something. I'll add it to the favorites list. :)

3. If you want slamming from the right, just go to Sludge

or Faux or the rest of the rabid right sites. I would rather the sites I visit not be fouled with that propaganda.

Cursor is a good summary of the underplayed stories in the media.

2. Whoa, whoa , whoa!

Frist (that cat-torturing POS) had no idea whether or not Clarke had perjured himself, he was just running the idea up the flagpole? Jeee-sus. Thanks for this link. :) Everybody read.

6. Frist is a real doozie.

We really need to get excerpts from the Congressional Record to see what these jerks say everyday.

4. This is what happened in Vietnam

As the New York Times reports that U.S. officials "believe they have found a legal basis for American troops to continue their military control over the security situation in Iraq" once the occupation ends, Nick Turse looks at how the U.S. is using Iraq as a weapons lab.
<snip>

The start of those smart weapons all over CNN during Gulf War I were the result of Vietnam. At the end of 1972 precession weapons were being used on Hanoi to the point where civilians were sleeping on the lawns of military prisons. The civilians were doing this to avoid being blown up in a raid. Other types of weapons like Agent Orange (a supposed defoliant) were also being used.

Back in 1965, Jack Raymond of the New York Times wrote a piece aptly headlined, "Vietnam Gives U.S. ‘War Laboratory.'" And in that era, there were a couple of American commanders who publicly said as much. For instance, General Maxwell Taylor, who served as the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and then U.S. ambassador to South Vietnam, noted that "we have recognized the importance of the area as a laboratory. We have teams out there looking at equipment requirements of this kind of guerilla warfare." But as Raymond pointed out, most American officials were loath to make such boasts for fear of comparisons to the Nazis, who had, only three decades earlier, used the Spanish Civil War as a training ground for World War II.

In short the Neocons are making a lot of us and themselves look like idiots. The Neocons need to be brought out to the public in plain view like they were in 1991 that made them run and hide for five years. The Neocons need not return at any time in the future.
