I have a question here. In the picture at left:
are the children happy to see our guys, or are they giving them the Arab equivalent of the "the finger"?
I've always heard that the "thumbs up" sign is considered obscene over there.

MSNBC bag cam. Power is back on, the sound you hear is wind on the mic.
To: nicmarlo
I missed the interview.....what mean and nasty question did the reporter ask? Who was it, what station/paper? Sory for this late reply, I can't keep up with the thread!
I didn't hear the interview, but from reading comments here, it sounds as if no one knows who asked the dumb question. I caught on Fox a little while ago, the part where her father can't keep talking but they didn't play the part right before it when the question was asked--Rita C. had only set up the video by explaining what had happened.
Then she and her co-anchor were also pretty emotional when the camera went back to them, and Rita said that one of Jessica's good friends, aged 23, was among the 8 who died when Jessica was captured.

Sorry, folks, I just stepped back in. Is this explosions on the CBS Cam or just wind noise?
Sorry if I sound stupid, but I'm a little shocked.

I was using 1.2b for quite a while with no problems, but today it started to freeze when I tried to file bookmarks. The bookmark drop-down screen froze. I removed 1.2b and downloaded 1.3 it's working fine. Are you having any problems with it?
To: nicmarlo
Welcome, nic. Is FR going down occasionally for a few minutes at a time..or is that just my computer?
Something really series:

I'd like to knock this guy Josh's jaw loose on Fox.

Oh, thank goodness someone else saw that jerk. Who is he?
This is the new line from the DNC, in my opinion: we didn't have enough troops, and we won despite the screw-up.
Who was that jerk? He must have some clout because they had Rich Lowry to counter him. I want an e-mail address so I can give him a piece of my mind!

I set a city map as my desktop so it is handy at all times. My wife thinks I'm weird.

CNN's Nic Robertson, reporting from Jordan, said that the neighborhoods near Baghdad International Airport were being cleared out by the Republican Guard & fedayeen so they can take up positions there for an attack on the airport.
My only skepticism is whether the people were being moved out of their homes. It would make our bombing of the area harder if they had human shields.

Wind is gusting - must be a real sandstorm going on away from the city.
What's the story on the power, when did it come back up?

You'll love this. Be sure to read the last sentence.
Are you fed up with the imperial Bush White House? The timid Democrats? The spinnable national media? Well, now is the time to join people such as Warren Buffett, Paul Krugman, Garry Trudeau, Molly Ivins, Bill Clinton, and the producers of "60 Minutes" and "The West Wing" who turn to The Washington Monthly each month for journalism that isn't afraid to shake some sense into the system. If, like them, you're hungry for the inside scoop on what's really happening in Washington and what can be done about it, you need our incisive and original coverage.
Brilliant minds and best-sellers, many of whom got their start at the magazine, including: Michael Kinsley, Jonathan Alter, Gregg Easterbrook, Timothy Noah, Taylor Branch, Mickey Kaus, Katherine Boo, James Bennet, Walter Shapiro, David Ignatius, Suzannah Lessard, and Jason DeParle. When The Chicago Tribune picked 11 all-stars of the "new New Journalism," eight had gotten their start at The Washington Monthly.
Other publications frown on journalists who work in government. We welcome them. After all, the best way to understand how the system works is to work there yourself. Before starting the magazine, Monthly founder Charles Peters was a bureaucrat, a legislator, a lawyer, and a soldier. In the spirit of I.F. Stone, Peters uses that experience to point out what works and what doesn't in his column "Tilting at Windmills."<> New editor-in-chief Paul Glastris has worked on both sides of the system. He covered national politics and foreign affairs for ten years at U.S. News & World Report, then served in the White House as President Bill Clinton's senior speechwriter.
