Can't wait to read the whole transcript.  DC today is rainy, but focus is on Cheney.  I vow not to spend today like I did yesterday, pressing the refresh button like a coke-addicted simian.

Short, sad note from Yahoo news:  The death toll in Iraq has passed 2000.

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20051025/ts_afp/iraq_051025110145

As we go about waiting for indictments, let us not forget the holes these deaths are leaving in families all over the U.S.  

by Tehanu on Tue Oct 25th, 2005 at 09:27:30 AM EST
Thank you for letting us know :( I posted a story above about it.  What a tragic waste  ... all these thousands and thousands of lives.  The silent crawl on PBS Newshour -- it's almost impossible to watch.

Sorry Susan, no sunshine here for a week. Had the heat on for the first time Sunday night. If it is below 70 I am cold. Too many years in the desert, then the tropics...lol!

Great story once again Susan - thank you so much in these hectic times to find the specials.

I'm watching the live feed of Democracy Now!. Amy Goodman is interviewing Mel Goodman, a former CIA analyst and a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy.

It is very significant that the Niger documents are being investigated by Fitzgerald. The UPI story over the weekend was by a very good longtime journalist.

The SP [Fitzgerald] is doing the job that the Senate should have done, the media should have done, Congress should have done. He is a hero.

Patrick J. Fitzgerald

The Office of Special Plans created fake intel -- passed it along to WHIG -- their job was to write materials for Condi Rice and Dick (Cheney) and Rummy so they could talk about the aluminum tubes, mushroom clouds, etc..
