Washington Post online chats

Not sure how many of you guys know about these but they are pretty cool sometimes. Do other papers do this too?

And my question i got answered today from Dana Priest :)
Annandale, Va.: Hi Dana, an intelligence official in the Iraqi government recently stated there are 40,000 full time insurgents and 200,000 part-time/supporting. How does this jive with U.S. intel?

Dana Priest: I've been looking at that. One US intelligence official debunked it as way too high. Frankly, I don't think the military or the CIA has a good estimate.

1. Yeah, I frequent these. They are often great.

The first time I saw Howard Dean was aware of Diebold and Wally O'Dell was on one of these chats. They are excellent.
