soo, now we have one vial of botulism. wow. from late's today's papers
Kay's report revealed that several years ago (the LAT says 1999, the Post says 2001) Iraq agreed to pay North Korea $10 million for equipment to build missiles that would have violated U.N. resolutions. When North Korea still hadn't delivered by late last year, Iraq asked for its money back and was refused. The president cited this revelation—as well as Kay's conclusion that Iraq had hidden biological labs (not necessarily for weapons) and a single vial of botulism—as a vindication of his decision to invade. In an interview with the LAT, Hans Blix, the U.N.'s prewar weapons inspector, dismissed Kay's findings as minor violations that would not have affected Security Council debates. Headlines in the Post ("Iraq Sought Missile Parts, President Says") and LAT ("Botched Iraqi Arms Deal is Detailed") are specific and newsworthy; the NYT buries the lead and runs with the political fallout: "President Says Report on Arms Vindicates War." An "International Brief" in the Post brings word that Polish troops in Iraq claim to have found missiles manufactured in France earlier this year.
iverson is now on record as saying 'working groups' is good. so when the dems take power next cycle, and i hope they continue these working groups, because they are, in a way, a good thing, but the likelihood of abuse is so much more stronger with republicons in power, that these words, like most out of the mouths of the cons, will come back to haunt them. mark my words. :)

a perfect example of how the few will want to dictate their ideologies to the many
DesMoinesRegister.com | Opinion: "Rather than requiring parental permission to 'opt in' to read a book, parents who object to certain curriculum materials should be required to opt their children out. Let those parents who want to diverge from the standard curriculum be the ones who stop their child from reading a particular book or attending a certain class or watching a controversial film."
