The big Iraqi document release continues to produce interesting stuff. Take a look at this post at Captain's Quarters: Saddam Targeted American Assets For Terrorism: Case Closed (via Augean Stables)
They also have a follow-up here, that's highly speculative but interesting: The Timing Of The Iraqi Air Force Memo, and you may as well not miss 'The Iraqi Regime Has Transported The Chemical And Biological Weapons' while you're there.
The trouble is that the "Bush [or Cheney] lied" thing has reached a point for a massive enough number of people that mutual self-assurance carries it on in a self-perpetuating wave into which contradictory evidence almost cannot intrude.
Here's what will have to happen: A Democrat will have to win the White House, which will allow information sources sufficiently influential with the mutually assured delusion folks -- like the New York Times, Boston Globe and the major networks -- to trip up their momentum and allow them to process this new info....whereupon Bush & co. won't actually get any credit, but some formula will be discovered whereby...I dunno...Harry Reid was really right all along, Saddam was a threat, but Democrats would have handled the past eight years better...something like that anyway.

2) HTML is on, so basic html should work. Raw links will be made auto-clickable, too, so even if you don't know html you can just paste in the link and it should work fine. Keep the "http://" in it.
3) Comments are generally unmoderated, which means I don't necessarily agree with the tone and tenor of everything posted. In fact, sometimes people post things they don't really mean just to make other people look bad. The internet is an anonymous place for the most part. That said...
4) I welcome you to post here. I'd love to have your input, agree, disagree or just offer a different data point, really. If I didn't want any participation, I'd turn off comments.

Anyone who posts here will be treated as my guest. That means I'm happy to be polite as a default, but if anyone is rude to the host they'll be unceremoniously shown the door.
It may pay to recall a famous line from the Tom Selleck magnum opus, Mr. Baseball: "Jack-san, you want Yoji's advice about the babes, you come to Yoji with respect."
