Libby: One of Many
The Decider - where the buck stops - has let the buck fall to Lewis Libby who was apparently instructed first to leak classified information to the Press and subsequently instructed to lie about it to the FBI. Of course he's going to pardon him. But this could be the first of many.
The Grim Milestone
The death of a Texas soldier, announced Sunday by the Pentagon, raised the number of U.S. military deaths in Iraq to at least 3,000 since the war began, according to an Associated Press count. The grim milestone was crossed on the final day of 2006 and at the end of the deadliest month for the American military in Iraq in the past 12 months. At least 111 U.S. service members were reported to have died in December. Spc. Dustin R. Donica, 22, of Spring, Texas, was killed Thursday by small arms fire in Baghdad, the Defense Department said. Donica was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Airborne Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division. His death was not announced by U.S. military authorities in Baghdad. At least 820 U.S. military personnel died in Iraq in 2006, according to the AP count.
Restoring the Rule of Law & Constitutional Government
It took only minor concessions by the Bush administration to convince enough Democrats to support the renewal of the USA PATRIOT Act and end a Senate filibuster blocking the bill’s passage. In fact on both the renewal of the PATRIOT Act and warrantless domestic spying by the National Security Agency (NSA), the Democrats have recently caved in or are signaling that they soon will. In contrast, only a more militant approach—the repeal of the PATRIOT Act, the ending of warrantless domestic spying, and the opening of the process by which national security warrants are approved—will adequately preserve the liberties that the nation’s founders enshrined in the Constitution’s Bill of Rights.

Haliburton Awarded Yet Another Major contract
With the cozy $1,000,000 per year "retirement" that Cheney gets from Haliburton, it can't be regarded as suprising, but it still stinks. The question is why the people at the top always seem to be cashing in on tragedies here on the bottom.
Cheney/Edwards

In Case You Haven't Heard, Cheney Lied Too
