Lord knows how I missed this one. It was all over the MSM /sarcasm. Ok, seriously, Captain's Quarters points us to an article that corroborates Saddam's contacts with Al-Qaeda well before the US had any thoughts of invasion. Al-Douri is most notorious for leading the former regime elements against the coalition forces. He was very highly placed in the regime and sure as hell wouldn't have reached out to al-Zawahiri on his own accord. Once again, this item was buried by the MSM because it doesn't fit the WarForOil meme.
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project
Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.
