Take a deep breath and sigh

As of this writing, we’re 36 hours away from the election. 36 hours. Hard to believe it’s been 4 years since the nightmare that was the 2000 elections. Over 3 years since 9-11. Almost 2 years since the beginning of the war in Iraq. We’ve come a long way, but have so much more of [...]

 

Hi all

FYI, been a busy last couple of days for Sister T. Had a friend get married today, went to a party last night to celebrate the marriage pre-wedding – so it’s been a busy couple of days for me. Getting ready to head out in just a bit for the after-reception reception. I’ll be back [...]

 

Defense dept photo proves pre war activity at QaQaa

Take a look at this. Proves there was definately activity at Al QaQaa shortly before the US invasion of Iraq. What kind of activity, though, is the mystery: The Pentagon also declassified and released a single image, taken by reconnaissance aircraft or satellite just days before the war, showing two trucks outside one of the [...]

The curse has finally been lifted. Dan Drezner seems awfully happy Update: Bush receives Curt Schilling’s endorsement From Good Morning America today: GIBSON: “Well, well said, Curt and Shonda. You both have certainly lifelong membership now in the Red Sox nation. It was a great thing to watch, and I think everybody – whether they [...]

 

Discrepancy Found in Explosives Amounts

Posted by: ST on October 28, 2004 at 12:34 am » 1 Comment

Just saw this at the ABC News site. Looks like the Iraqi’s may have overstated what was at the Al-Qaqaa facility and these documents and not only that but the documents appear to support the contention that the vast bulk of these explosives were removed PRIOR to the OIF: The Iraqi interim government has told [...]

 

John Kerry figures out Iraq had WMD!

Remarkable! (emphasis added by Sister T) “This morning, we learned more disturbing news about the disappearance of 380 tons of powerful explosives in Iraq. We already know these weapons could produce bombs that can demolish entire buildings… blow up airplanes… destroy tanks… and kill our troops. Terrorists used explosives like this to take down Pan [...]

Bomb-gate The scandal the Times ought to be investigating. Opener: The United Nations is already embroiled in the largest economic scam in world history: the multibillion dollar Oil-for-Food scandal. Now there is reason to ask whether a senior U.N., official also has attempted to influence an American election by spreading misleading information. As I said, [...]

 

Continuing analysis of WeaponsCacheGate

The Belmont Club is all over this. As you’ll see from their in depth analysis, there is much more to this story than meets the eye. I posted in my comments section this morning in agreement with Dominic that it appears more and more that this explosive material was *moved* not looted. There was too [...]

 

Journalistic integrity: out the window?

Posted by: ST on October 26, 2004 at 9:26 pm » 3 Comments

Ann Althouse, guest blogger at Instapundit, blogs on the apparent complicity between, ahem, certain news agencies regarding the explosive (pun not intended) story about the missing weapons: I’VE NEVER READ A CODE OF JOURNALISTIC ETHICS, but it seems to me that this much is clear: it is absolutely intolerable for a news organization to hold [...]
