Israel and Hamas…a tragic war

Israel’s position on the Palestinian issue is well known. Each side had agreed to a six month cease fire. Both sides accused the other of violations. 3 days after the end of the six month cease fire Israel attacked what they say were Hamas headquarters. I can only trust that they know what the hell [...]

Ten Post Round-Up: Policy of Truth

There’s a lot of vim and vinegar being slung around the internets, today.  It’s like there’s a hot political race going on…wait…my bad!

On Air America’s Politically Direct with David Bender, CT Senate candidate Ned Lamont said “Don’t confuse experience with judgement” I am really glad Bender caught that and commented since it was in the middle of a complex statement and could easily been lost.

A Torturer-in-Chief?

Democratic Daily reader Sam Osborne emailed me this LTTE, that I felt was worth sharing in light of the agreement reached yesterday by the GOP on Bush’s “detainee bill.” It’s still ugly no matter how we frame it.
Bush apologists have wheeled out a straw man: a detainee possessing knowledge which if forced from his evil [...]
