Terror Links to Saddam's Inner Circle. Remember the arguement that Iraq was a distraction from the War On Terror(ism)? The narrative is changing. The president's supporters pointed to hints, clues and nebulous links between Saddam's regime and terrorism. The left dispensed with their vaunted nuance and declared this was either personal or for oil (or both). As the documents come out we are seeing there were many more connections between Saddam and terrorists than we knew. If nothing else, read the bolded portions.
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.
