03-08-07 - For Cheney, Political Toll May Follow Libby Verdict On a personal level, friends of the vice president say the trial has been deeply painful for him.

Mr. Libby accompanied the vice president almost everywhere he went, and Mr. Cheney made clear his high professional and personal regard for his aide, even playing host to a book party for him in 2002 at his official residence.

03-08-07 - A Corrupt Endeavor The Cheney coup d'etat that made the invasion of Iraq possible is, finally, overthrown: that's the larger significance of this verdict, and, as such, it is a cause for celebration. But let's not rest on Fitzgerald's laurels: it is time, now, for Congress to follow up the plentiful leads provided by the prosecution in this case and expose the neocons' corrupt endeavor to the light of day....NOTES IN THE MARGIN I'm pleased to announce that Philip Giraldi is our newest columnist, and you can check out the first installment here Excellent. When Giraldi speaks, I listen too. Giraldi's Aug. '05 Deep Background column comprised the message forum 'post heard around the (cyber)world', one of them anyway.

Buchanan That larger issue is this: Were we misled, were we deceived by our government, as the White House made the case for invading and occupying Iraq?

03-08-07 - Israelis Want US Aid to Come Without 'Political Strings' The results of a new public opinion poll suggest that Israelis will resist further pressure from the Bush administration for Israel to pursue "land-for-peace," notwithstanding the United States' generous backing of the Jewish state......"It should be added that these strings exist, not just for outright aid, but also for the whole gamut of relations with the U.S., including export-import trade relations, access to technology, U.S. tax exemption for charities raising funds for Israeli causes and NGOs, etc."
It's ridiculous the notion that Israel abides by the wishes of the US and not the other way around.
