I did not hear his remaks (muted TV) but saw his supercilious look while he was speaking, and looked to see his name and affiliation.

He was identified with the [paraphrase] Center for American Progress - I'm not sure of the exact words, but recall that some group with the initials CAP is one of the groups set up by the Clintons and their cronies to 'counter' the influence of conservative think tanks!!!!

Several years have passed since 9-11.

While I strongly agree with your assessment that we are still woefully deficient in the foreign language department, please note that we are still 4 months away from marking only THREE years past 9/11.

Did anybody else hear Hillary! in her little Freudian slip? Something about prick...pictures...

I have the hearings on in my shop and not only did I hear it, but my employees heard it, too! We were all eating lunch and almost choked we were laughing so hard!

I was laughing too!

Also, at the end, she was starting to say more, when she was cut off by the chairman.

CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - A video posted Tuesday on an Islamic militant Web site appeared to show a group affiliated with al-Qaida beheading an American in Iraq, saying the death was revenge for the prisoner-abuse scandal.

The video showed five men wearing headscarves and black ski masks, standing over a bound man in an orange jumpsuit who identified himself as an American from Philadelphia.

After reading a statement, the men were seen pulling the man to his side and cutting off his head with a large knife. They then held the head out before the camera.

I saw Rummy. He sounded a little tired. Subdued. I sent a message of appreciation and encouragement in the mail yesterday. Used a post-card so hopefully it will clear the mail screening process faster.

"This is very disturbing. Potential fifth columns in our military sabotaging our interrogation efforts."

For crying out loud! These will be Coalition forces. The US has special intelligence relationships with some of the Coalition forces stationed in Iraq.

The question was whether AK-47's had been issued, not whether they had been confiscated.

Seymour Hersh has been the rats point man. When he came out swinging, he praised Taguba's report, and Taguba himself. It will be interesting to see how he works his lies and part truths, in the coming days.

Hersh also has flat out asserted this was systemic and approved behavior that was done at the behest of intelligence. All refuted soundly by Taguba today.

Bob Dole (with new eye job) was on MSNBC a short while ago. Asked about this story said the media has way overcovered it. Wrongdoing was found out, investigated--by all means a thorough investigation is needed--and punishment should be given, which it is in the process of doing. Allison asks him how far up he thinks this went (she did not hear Taguba inform us it was from the brigade commander on down, evidently, or she's ignoring it). He says full investigation will answer, but clearly it was not our policy.

He said he thinks whoever revealed those photographs is in violation of the Geneva Convention. No, I don't expect anyone to be held to account for that, but Dole did say it, and very forcefully, too.
