I'm not sure if you heard about the Policy Analysis Market story yesterday. Those Iran-Contra demons are back in your government and doing it again: Poindexter's Follies. This thing was really bad news for the Bush (mis)Administration. You could tell that by how fast the web site went down: I looked at the web site before lunch yesterday and it was gone after lunch. Everyone is against this thing, but is Wolfie? Here is a little back and forth from him and Sen. Boxer:

At the Foreign Relations hearing, Wolfowitz defended DARPA, saying "it is brilliantly imaginative in places where we want them to be imaginative. It sounds like maybe they got too imaginative," he said, smiling.

Senator Barbara Boxer (D - Calif.) told Wolfowitz, "I don't think we can laugh off that program."

"There is something very sick about it," she said. "And if it's going to end, I think you ought to end the careers of whoever it was thought that up. Because terrorists knowing they were planning an attack could have bet on the attack and collected a lot of money. It's a sick idea."

I can understand brainstorming for ideas, but this one never should have gotten this far.

Wolfie got a full ration yesterday. Senators put the heat on Wolfowitz Bipartisan frustration on Iraq boils over at committee hearing. Is this another sign that the things are changing?

Don't forget what happens when things get tough for these guys. I don't want to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but did you notice that a New terror alert was issued yesterday? The funny thing about this is that the Color-Coded Terror Alert System Is Losing Meaning for Many. Let's see, they predict a terrorist attack and nothing happpens, they're covered. They predict a terrorist attack and one happens, they're covered. Neat how that works, isn't it?

The Saudis are unable to sway Bush: Bush keeps 28 pages of 9/11 report secret. Most think the Saudis are the nation everyone is talking about in this section of the report. It probably is, but don't forget about Pakistan.

This is good: AN OPEN LETTER TO A REPUBLICAN FRIEND.

The Bush administration's Top 40 Lies about war and terrorism. Wow, only 40 of 'em?

John Dean is at it again, The 9/11 Report Raises More Serious Questions About The White House Statements On Intelligence. Mainly Condi.
