A short recon at what’s out there that might draw your attention:
Sunday Edition
Cassandra writes Liberal Anti-War Hypocrisy Knows No Bounds “For the past six months, this nation has been embroiled in controversy over the illegal "outing" of an entire classified anti-terrorism program by James Risen of the New York Times. Oddly, the very same people infuriated by the alleged "outing" of a single CIA operative who had so little regard for her own cover that the editor-in-chief of the liberal New Republic knew who she worked for long before Novak's fateful article throw their wholehearted approval behind the illegal "outing" of entire classified anti-terror programs:” (read more)
Laughing Wolf writing at Blackfive posts Posters For The Times “I do wish that this was a time when people took war and the need for secrecy in war seriously. Having said that, here is a great collection of WWII security posters redone for the present day. While I like the first one, and agree they need a huge glass of it, the second one is the one I like the best.” (read more)
Kevin McCullough writing at Townhall.com posts WMDs: The real scandal “By now much of the nation has finally heard the truth; George Bush never lied about weapons of mass destruction. By now most of America is realizing that the President who has been pummeled mercilessly on the fact that such weapons were missing, is deserving of public apologies from every Ted, Dick, and Harry the Senate can cough up.” (read more)
Oliver North writing at Townhall.com writes Defeatism “'Victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.' Winston Churchill Sir Winston delivered that line in the House of Commons on May 13 1940, in his first address as Prime Minister. As he was speaking, the French and British armies were reeling from Hitler's onslaught through neutral Belgium. It's a good thing Churchill didn't have "war heroes" like Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., and Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., in Parliament. Otherwise Great Britain might have been compelled to surrender at Dunkirk.” (read more)
Crazy Politico writes ALTERed Reality “Jonathan Alter has an interesting op/ed piece in this weeks Newsweek Magazine, "How To Beat Cut and Run". It is not, as the title suggests, a way for the Democrats to beat the charge that every Iraq policy they've proposed has been the equivalent of cutting and running. Instead, it's a look at how he feels Karl Rove can beat the Democrats by turning their Iraq strategy into a political liability, and getting them to ignore it.” (read more)
Red Cuppa Politics writes Chemical WMD's: Looks Like A Skunk, Smells Like A Rose ... “I'm so sick of the double standard, I could scream. Reliability of press sources seems to depend basically on the content of what is reported. Consider the contrast between Iraqi sources on perceived US troop abuse, and Iraqi sources regarding WMD's.” (read more)
Captain Ed writes The Washington Post Doesn't See The Problem, Either “The New York Times has come under fire from a wide spectrum of observers for their hysterical and tabloidesque revelation of a national-security program that turns out to break no laws and endanger no one's civil liberties. Today, the Washington Post joins the chorus of criticism, albeit sotto voce, in their lead editorial today:” (read more)
Blue Crab Boulevard writes Ready For The Spotlight? “Someone asked at the time of YearlyKos whether the Koz Kidz would be ready for their time in the spotlight. I can't remember who said it, but it was a very pertinent question. It appears to be getting more pertinent every day, too. It's not just TNR coming down on Kos, Newsweek is now taking the offensive with an article that is not at all flattering.” (read more)
Chickenhawk Express writes OOPS THEY DID IT AGAIN - DAMN THE NYT! “DAMN! How much more classified national security information does the NY Times have to print before we can hang them from the highest tree? Fresh on the heels of the latest Risen-Lichtblau terrorist assistance, the Times publishes info about a classified briefing from Gen. Casey about troop withdrawal!” (read more)
