Okay, I'm going to whore this again because I think frankly discussing withdrawal from Iraq is important.

Maybe shoot around your own home. You know, like the balcony where Maxx was hanging out. Prolly lots of neat light and shadows and railings and other stuff that provide a sense of your place.
Let's take a Poland see what people think.
I'm not even sure what that means...
It means your photograph should capture the essence of the place you're photographing.
"But first, we go get Krispy Kreme!"
Ya know, if you're claiming to be Interpol, I don't think staying at the Motel 6 really enhances your credibility...
"But first, we will get Krispy Kreme!"
Worst. Henchmen. Ever.

Don't be Sicily: you're doing fine!
For some reason the last thread didn't load for me. So I guess I missed all the Plame fun discussion. Dammit.
These puns can make a person want to get really drunk, just Taiwan on.
Wapo is frontpaging Howard Kurtz's summary of the NYT story. He played up Libby as source for Plame outing to Judy and also the discrepanies between Judy's account and Van Atta's account. Made the point that NYT editors were not in control of the story or of Judy. NYT came out looking very bad in wapo account.
Kurtz will reinforce the same theme with Ariana tomorrow on CNN at 10AM on Reliable Sources.

Just one more thing I have to note about that MYT article:
"She'd given her pledge of confidentiality," said Arthur Sulzberger Jr., the publisher. "She was prepared to honor that. We were going to support her."
But Mr. Sulzberger and the paper's executive editor, Bill Keller, knew few details about Ms. Miller's conversations with her confidential source other than his name. They did not review Ms. Miller's notes. Mr. Keller said he learned about the "Valerie Flame" notation only this month. Mr. Sulzberger was told about it by Times reporters on Thursday.
Sounds like they have *no* control over her at all.
Yeah. He took it first, how come he's having a delayed reaction?

Bush told Blair of 'going beyond Iraq'
United States President George Bush told British Prime Minister Tony Blair shortly before the invasion of Iraq that he intended to target other countries, including Saudi Arabia, which, he implied, planned to acquire weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
Bush said he "wanted to go beyond Iraq in dealing with WMD proliferation, mentioning in particular Saudi Arabia, Iran, North Korea, and Pakistan", according to a note of a telephone conversation between the two men on January 30 2003.
The note is quoted in the US edition, published next week, of Lawless World: America and the Making and Breaking of Global Rules, by the British international lawyer Philippe Sands. The memo was drawn up by one of Blair's foreign-policy advisers in Downing Street and passed to the Foreign Office, according to Sands.
It is not surprising that Bush referred to Iran and North Korea, or even Pakistan -- at the time suspected of spreading nuclear know-how, but now one of the US's closest allies in the "war on terror". What is significant is the mention of Saudi Arabia.
In Washington, the neo-cons in particular were hostile to the Saudi royal family and did not think they were doing enough to quell Islamist extremists -- 15 of the 19 September 11 attackers were Saudis. But the Bush administration did not in public express concern about any Saudi nuclear ambitions.
In September 2003, The Guardian reported that Saudi Arabia had embarked on a strategic review that included acquiring nuclear weapons. Until then, the assumption in Washington was that Saudi Arabia was content to remain under the US nuclear umbrella despite the worsening relationship between Riyadh and Washington.
It is not clear how Blair responded to Bush's remarks during the telephone conversation, which took place on the eve of a trip to Washington for talks with the US president.
In his book Blair's Wars, John Kampfner says that at the meeting the two leaders "agreed to concentrate not just on Iraq ... but also the Middle East". But that was taken to be a reference to Palestine. Blair wanted Bush to express concern about the plight of the Palestinians to appease the Labour party.
Blair at the time was careful to avoid any suggestion that the Bush administration intended to target other countries after the invasion of Iraq. However, for the first time he suggested there were links between Saddam Hussein and al-Qaeda.
After the invasion, Washington adopted a calmer approach towards Iran, leaving it to Britain, France and Germany to pursue a diplomatic course....

I wouldn't take "place" too narrowly. Anything can provide a sense of place. Something inside, with Maxx nesting in a pile of balled-up fitted sheets. Or a wide cityscape during a thunderstorm. Or maybe a shot of a dumpster in an alley behind a Chinese restaurant with part of a neon sign in view.
