    Bush admits "intelligence" was wrong

    WASHINGTON - President Bush said Wednesday the responsibility for invading Iraq based in part on faulty weapons intelligence rested solely with him, taking on the issue in his most direct and personal terms in the 1,000-plus days since the war's first shots. "It is true that much of the...

    Ahnod Declines To Stop Williams Execution

    Personally, very happy to see this. I advocate overturning some death-row sentences upon review of specific cases that can be revisited thanks to DNA testing which proves innocence after the fact, but this guy should NOT get off because he "made amends." I'd imagine there are a lot of murderers...

    Maybe we DID go to war in Iraq for the oil...

    I came across an interesting report on the role the US is playing in regards to Iraq's oil present and future. For a long time now, conservatives have bristled at the thought of something as underhanded and self-serving as the Bush administration attacking Iraq for the oil. In fact, when I...

    Cut and run? I thought mission was accomplished?

    I find it very interesting that the conservative majority is now saying that if we left now - or in the near future - that we would be cutting and running, and that we will have lost the war. So, we have not accomplished anything substantial and sustainable with the multi-billions of dollars...

    A question for liberals that say Bush lied...

    Despite what some say, I like to look at both sides of an issue. I asked a question of conservatives yesterday to gauge some ideas. This is something that's been digging at me a little of late.

    What, in your minds, will constitute a "victory" in Iraq? (Let's just say that you don't agree with Bush in his comment of "Mission Accomplished" many moons ago...I can let that pass for now) What objectives do we need to achieve there and how long do you support staying there? I would be...

    I thought I'd start a topic that is very much at the forefront of talking points regarding the naming of a new Justice.
