I just almost fell of my chair. CNBC announced that Bell South is getting slammed with so many lawsuits, they wrote to USA Today demanding a retraction. But they can't tell us why USA Today is wrong.

Kafka must be laughing from the grave.

Comedy Central star Stephen Colbert's biting routine at the White House Correspondents Association dinner won a rare silent protest from Bush aides and supporters Saturday when several independently left before he finished.

"Colbert crossed the line," said one top Bush aide, who rushed out of the hotel as soon as Colbert finished. Another said that the president was visibly angered by the sharp lines that kept coming.

"I've been there before, and I can see that he is [angry]," said a former top aide. "He's got that look that he's ready to blow." Read More

WASHINGTON - The
Secret Service has agreed to turn over White House visitor logs that will show how often convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff met with Bush administration officials -- and with whom he met.

U.S. District Judge John Garrett Penn last Tuesday approved an agreement between the Secret Service and Judicial Watch, a public interest group, that requires the agency to produce records of Abramoff's visits from Jan. 1, 2001, to the present.

Judicial Watch filed suit in February after the Secret Service failed to respond to its request under the federal Freedom of Information Act. Read More

Baghdad Governor Suspends Cooperation With U.S. Forces

http://www.rferl.org/...

March 27, 2006 -- Baghdad provincial Governor Husayn al-Tahan said he is suspending all cooperation with U.S. forces until an independent investigation is launched into the killing of 20 Shi'a, allegedly in or near a mosque.

Speaking to reporters in Baghdad, al-Tahan said, "Today we decided to stop all political and service cooperation with the U.S. forces until a legal committee is formed to investigate this incident."

He said the inquiry panel should include representatives from the U.S. Embassy and the Iraqi Defense Ministry, but not the U.S. military.

Followers of radical Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr blame U.S. forces for killing the 20 Shi'a in and around a mosque in Baghdad on March 26.

The U.S. military denies the charges, saying Iraqi forces backed by U.S. advisers killed 16 insurgents in an operation in the same neighborhood. Read More

This is fresh from CNN - Barbara Starr just did a report with a gravest voice I've ever seen. She repeated "multiple sources confirm" after every sentence. There was some incident last year at Haditha where Marines came under IED attack and later 15 civilians were reported dead from the explosion or in the "Fog of War"

Now after a lot of preliminary investigation Pentagon has opened an official inquiry into BOTH whether there was any misconduct and why the initial press release had such misleading phrasing.

No other details yet, but she sounded extremely serious - and this is not a leak.

A simple poll

700 more troops INTO Iraq today:

WASHINGTON - The U.S. military is dispatching an Army battalion of about 700 soldiers to
Iraq from their base in Kuwait to provide extra security during the holiday of Ashura, three military officers said Wednesday.

The move, which has not been publicly announced, comes amid a spike in sectarian violence and expectations that it likely will remain a problem as fractious Iraqi political leaders attempt to form a new government.

So... Withdrawal nowhere in sight. British are cutting and running before their own elections coming up. The rest of the coalition almost gone. How many US troops will still be there by the end of 2006?

CAIRO, Egypt - An explosion occured Friday at a major oil refinery in Buqayq, eastern Saudi Arabia, a Saudi oil official said. (REPORT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED BY CNN. COMING ON THE HEELS OF NIGERIAN ATTACKS ON SHELL FACILITIES, THIS COULD SEND OIL PRICES INTO A TAILSPIN).

http://news.yahoo.com/...
http://www.marketwatch.com/...

The pan-Arab satellite channel Al-Arabiya TV reported the authorities foiled an attempt to bomb the refinery with two vehicles packed with explosives. The channel did not give a source for the report, which appeared on its scrollbar.

Earlier Al-Arabiya quoted its reporter in the kingdom as saying shots as well as an explosion were heard, and they may have been part of an attempt to attack the refinery. Read More

I think there's a reasonable agreement that one of the main reasons the Democrats lost in 2004 was that they let Republicans force them into picking a wrong side in 2002/2003 by supporting Iraq. That resulted in retarded statements like Kerry's "I voted for it before I voted against it", Hillary's continued "I'm a hawk" games, and problems for many other candidates. However, the events of this year, from problems in Iraq to Plamegate to Coingate to DelayGate, present a unique opportunity for Democrats to play back at Republicans the same way. All they have to do is starting right now force every Republican congressman or candidate to give a clear yes or no answer to questions about Iraq, crimes in the White House, etc. The answers are irrelevant - as long as the Republicans give clear yes or no, the answers could be used against them come election time. Failure to ask these questions now would be a really wasted opportunity.
