Bill Roggio talks about al-Qaeda’s Foreign Fighters in Iraq. I think it's an honest assessment and one that bears reading. He makes the point that flypaper doesn't always catch all the flies. Some terrorists will undoubtedly learn lessons from their time in Iraq and return home to spread their knowledge along with some mayhem. However, that number is very small compared to the number killed or captured.

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.
