S/SW blog philosophy -

I credit favorite writers and public opinion makers.

A lifelong Democrat, my comments on Congress, the judiciary and the presidency are regular features.

My observations and commentary are on people and events in politics that affect the USA or the rest of the world, and stand for the interests of peace, security and justice.

Desperation in the air.

Today's PM Item
We can no longer deny the reality - Thanks (I think) to DailyKos poster, majcmb1, for a stomach-knotting link and quote about how bad the situation really is in Iraq. Mariam Karouny's analysis is that "Gloom descends on Iraqi leaders as civil war looms." And her arguments ring true. It is just a matter of time now.

No NIE coming to Our Current President - The comment comes from a diary by Steven D, "Breaking: Negroponte Censors CIA from telling Truth re: Iraq." The blog and 100+ comments concern the claim that Negroponte wants to protect the president from another National Intelligence Estimate that would be a too-pessimestic assessment of the war situation in Iraq.

It's ok to let it out - I think we can just go ahead and let him know. It is all over the papers by now.

Reference : (See my recent post about Negroponte).
