National Geographic’s Inside 9/11 premiers tomorrow night at 9:00 est. From their website: We’ll never forget the day the world changed. Go beyond what has been reported and get a clearer picture of the day that redefined our nation. Watch the trailer here. On a related note, the NYTimes has a great editorial about why Bush’s Freedom Walk scheduled for September 11 (starting at the Pentagon and ending at the National Mall with a country music concert), is WRONGMINDED....

Army Planning for Four More Years in Iraq
Is there no end to this madness… apparently not in the eyes of the Army or General Peter Schoomaker who said today in an AP interview that “the Army is prepared for the “worse case” in terms of the required level of troops in Iraq.” Of course no doubt the Army must parrot what the big boss said today, but this General seemed to go above and beyond the call of duty with his timeline. We know that Bush...
Max Cleland: ‘Bush’s Iraq Plan For Victory is Not Working’, Bush to Begin 5 Day “Stay the Course” Tour
As George W. Bush prepares to begin a five-day push to “tell Americans why he thinks U.S. troops must continue the fight in Iraq,” former Senator Max Cleland of Georgia delivered the Democratic Radio Address this morning. Bush, challenged but not bowed by the protestors who continue the vigil outside of his Texas ranch in Cindy Sheehan’s stead, once again invoked “the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in his radio address” today. It has been proven that there is...

Schwarzenegger is hosting a political fundraiser for himself in which donors who pay $10,000 get a...
Cindy Sheehan Represents Only a Small Part of America’s Greater Tragedy in Iraq
Eleanor Clift rips Bush in her Newsweek column: — A Historical Footnote Any other politician who had a Gold Star mother in his driveway would get the cameras rolling, give her a big hug and gain points for compassion. Instead of doing what should come naturally to a democratic leader, President George W. Bush deepened the crisis enveloping his presidency by arrogantly refusing to grant Cindy Sheehan an audience. He may have missed that opportunity for good now that...
Upward Mobility and Downward Quality of Reporting in the Nation’s Capital
Did you ever wonder why Kerry kept getting racked over the coals whenever he proposed something that was economically liberal? Why he was at best ignored at worst attacked when he didn’t spit in liberals faces, e.g. when he refused to cross a union picket line in the summer? I still remember that one, Kerry was attacked in the media for NOT pulling a Sister Souljah. I’m no fan of racism on the part of blacks or whites, but...
