tick, tick, tick (goes the armageddon clock...)

Ah, Director Tenet… today you resigned… I wonder if you will be the scapegoat? I hope there are more resignations to come so that the rest of the country will learn the truth. (It also appears that James Pavitt [CIA Deputy Director of Operations] will be resigning Friday… It is said that his resignation is not related to that of Mr. Tenet… It is all timed too well for my tastes.)

Now Former Governor Bush (I apologize, but I still have a hard time calling him president) says, of his political relationship with Ahmed Chalabi, that he has seen him a few times and shook his hand while he was visiting with other foreign dignitaries. Well… I stole this from Salon.com. You tell me if he is again lying to the American Public.

And on a more personal note I want to welcome Jim into the fold.
