Haditha Media Errors Exposed. It appears some cracks are showing in the "massacre" story. Could this be another Plamegate/TANG story? I think so. It's clear to me that those who created this story have an agenda and those swallowing the story without so much as a question are eager for their Pulitzer. They want to be the one that wrote the story that led to the greatest armed forces the world has ever known to withdraw. That they would be on the side of mass murderers and monsters is immaterial. All that matters is the story. Getting it first is far more important than getting it right. We can always run a correction later. (correction to appear on A47: The Times reported that US Marines massacred dozens of innocent civilians in Haditha. Reports later showed that no such activity occured. The Times regrets the error.)
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.
