Today's Wall Street Journal has an excellent editorial on the war against the Bush administration being waged from within the intelligence community. However, the part that really hit me was the brief synopsis of how the media has been involved in reporting the warfare: CIA Director Porter Goss is now facing press criticism for trying […]
NPR's Juan Williams has an effect on Brit Hume. Last week's revelation that a CIA officer had been fired after apparently leaking information (a charge the individual reportedly denies) on secret CIA prisons in Europe to a Washington Post reporter (leading to a Pulitzer Prize) has provided Democrats with an opportunity to once again demonstrate […]
The source for The Washington Post's Pulitzer Prize-winning story on the CIA's secret prisons for terrorists in Europe has been fired, and probably will be spending some time in federal prison. According the the New York Times, the traitor is Mary O. McCarthy, a Kerry supporter who was appointed to her position as senior director […]
Today's Wall Street Journal has a good editorial [link for subscribers only] detailing the vacuousness of the Democrats' foreign policy/national security views. The article was prompted by Pelosi's recent visit to witness some of the brutal genocide in Darfur and her call to take strong, decisive action -- naming a special envoy. A recently published […]
Over at National Review's Media blog they've identified three flat out lies from Monday night's "Hardball" broadcast.

Take a look at this editorial in The Washington Post of all places vis a vis the San Diego Union-Tribune editorial that I wrote about last week.
When Wisconsin Democrat Senator Russ Feingold chose as his star witness before the Senate Judiciary Committee disgraced Watergate lawyer John Dean, you knew that the censure resolution was a joke. They couldn't manage a Cass Sunstein, a Larry Tribe or any other prominent constitutional expert to make their case for them, they had to settle […]
but my time would be more productively spent sorting grains of sand. According to John Hinderaker over at Powerline.com, The New York Times' account of a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing earlier this week "badly misled its readers." After reading the excerpts, I'd have to agree with Hinderaker. The FISA court judges make it pretty clear […]
Here are a few things I encourage you to check out as you do your Web-surfing today: John Hinderaker over at Powerline notes there are dueling versions of the testimony given by FISA Court judges with regard to the NSA surveillance program. I'll be curious to find out which one is accurate, because the stories […]
