Quote of the Day:

President Bush: Several of our fellow American citizens -- including Haleh Esfandiari, Parnaz Azima, Kian Tajbakhsh, and Ali Shakeri -- are being held against their will by the Iranian regime. I strongly condemn their detention at the hands of Iranian authorities. They should be freed immediately and unconditionally.

These individuals have dedicated themselves to building bridges between the American and Iranian people, a goal the Iranian regime claims to support. Their presence in Iran -- to visit their parents or to conduct humanitarian work -- poses no threat. Indeed, their activities are typical of the abiding ties that Iranian-Americans have with their land of origin.

I am also disturbed by the Iranian regime's refusal so far to provide any information on Robert Levinson, despite repeated U.S. requests. I call on Iran's leaders to tell us what they know about his whereabouts.

The United States is committed to protecting its citizens at home and abroad. We will maintain our efforts on behalf of these citizens until all of them are reunited with their families.

Hi Jonny, thanks for tonight’s Dose. I’m sitting at my desk bored out of my skull waiting for this work week to end when the Dose came along to rescue me.

President Bush and Dan Bartlett walk to the White House in this file photo from last month.

President Bush: Laura and I will miss Dan Bartlett very much. Dan has been a true counselor to the President. His contribution has been immeasurable. I value his judgment and I treasure his friendship. Since coming to work for me fourteen years ago as I prepared to run for Governor, Dan has become a husband and a father. I understand his decision to make his young family his first priority. His most important job is to be a loving husband and father of three young sons. We wish him all the best.

[silent_jonny]

What’s the purpose of that?

As anyone who has hosted this thread will tell you, a lot of work goes into sorting through these photos so they can be posted in a certain order.

The purpose of the "All Clear" is to respect the work of the host and to politely wait until after that day's photos are posted before adding your own.

[Kaslin]
