Is the election yet?
OK, this one is pretty sad.
Memo Lets CIA Take Detainees Out of Iraq
At the request of the CIA, the Justice Department drafted a confidential memo that authorizes the agency to transfer detainees out of Iraq for interrogation -- a practice that international legal specialists say contravenes the Geneva Conventions.Am I surprised? Why should I be? This administration has decided to thumb it's nose at the Geneva Conventions before, why should it bother now? This is only one example out of many that shows just how desperate this administration is to try to gather human intelligence. This isn't the only way to gather intelligence, but the administration is demonstrating that they find it the most expedient way.

On the other funny hand, we have this.
Bush says bin Laden likely dead; A stunned John Kerry replies: "Oh, fuck. Really?"
Citing newly declassified intelligence documents, President Bush told reporters today that al-Qaeda leader Usama bin Laden is "very likely dead," and that Senator John Kerry "needs to stop his yammering about our so-called failure in Tora Bora, because such talk demoralizes the troops and, quite frankly, makes the Senator look like he's got that big head of his stuffed squarely up his pooper."I have to note, this is not the Washington Times that the page proclaims it is. It isn't, it's just a weblog that copied the source from a page, and plugged in their own story. It's still funny. Permanent link posted by bytehead @ 10/24/2004 09:13:00 PM
