What’s This? Accountability?
Only four years have passed: A long-awaited CIA inspector-general’s report on the agency’s performance before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks includes detailed criticism of more than a dozen former and current agency officials, aiming its sharpest language at George Tenet, the former director of central intelligence… Tenet is censured for failing to develop and carry [...]
Wes Clark: Before It’s Too Late in Iraq
Resolve isn’t enough: The growing chorus of voices demanding a pullout should seriously alarm the Bush administration, because President Bush and his team are repeating the failure of Vietnam: failing to craft a realistic and effective policy and instead simply demanding that the American people show resolve.

It was a good photo-op, and a continuation of the reform theme he beat like a drum [...]
Feinstein on Roberts

It’s hard to say where the chips are going to fall, but as Senators spend time in their home states, hints are filtering out: Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., indicated in a speech to two lawyers’ [...]
