Sandy Berger worried besides that, if Osama was brought in, whether he could be convicted in a court of law. Berger is lucky that he himself wasn't tried in a court of law for filching secret documents from the National Archives. Which is to say, he's lucky that the Bushies saw him as too insignificant to torture.

Heard about this during the night, but I thought they called in a warning. The loss of life is very sad.

He was. The judge thought it so trivial as to warrant no jail time.

I wonder if the talking heads find it the least bit ironic that they continue to debate whether Gerald Ford's pardon of Nixon allowed us to move forward from Watergate and deal with Vietnam?

That paragraph of Marty Peretz above, demonstrates why he is one of the most fucked up wankers in the world.

That would require a level of cognative assessment that they are incapable of performing.
In other words - no, they don't, they're too busy talking.

One is a 19-year old Ecuadorian who was sleeping in his car while his girlfriend met someone coming in on a plane. The other they didn't say.

The Justice Department is investigating whether the director of a multibillion-dollar oil-trading program at the Interior Department has been paid as a consultant for oil companies hoping for contracts.
The director of the program and three subordinates, all based in Denver, have been transferred to different jobs and have been ordered to cease all contacts with the oil industry until the investigation is completed some time next spring, according to officials involved.
The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation had not been announced publicly, said investigators were worried that senior government officials had been steering huge oil-trading contracts to favored companies.
Any such favoritism would probably reduce the money that the federal government receives on nearly $4 billion worth of oil and gas, because it would reduce competition among companies that compete to sell the fuel on behalf of the government.

I'm not sure, but I'd think the latter, perhaps, because the article does mention clearing the area about an hour before they detonated the bomb.

I suspect it all happened quickly and he slept through the warnings. I think there was less than 45 minutes between the warning and the explosion.

cool - this is just like the last time the Spanish government had 'no shadow of a doubt' that those completely innocent folks had done something bad, or something.
i, on the other hand, have no shadow of a doubt that Bush is a fuckin asshole. i'll put my lack of shadow up against that of the spanish government any day.
