Senator Alleges White House Wrote Allawi's Speech
Jeremiah Cornelius writes "In a letter to the White House, a leading US Senate Democrat, Diane Feinstein, expressed 'profound dismay' that the White House allegedly wrote a large portion of Iraqi Prime Minister Iyad Allawi's speech to Congress last week. 'His speech gave me hope that reconstruction efforts were proceeding in most of the country and that elections could be held on schedule. To learn that this was not an independent view, but one that was massaged by your campaign operatives, jaundices the speech and reduces the credibility of his remarks.'"
Slashdot just moved stuff that matters :)
I second that!

I'm sorry, but does this really belong on the Slashdot main page? I'm all for a technology-enhanced political debate, as I share a lot of the same sort of technical-style values that I think other /.ers have, but this is completely off the mark. It's just politics as usual, which we can get from anywhere, NBC, CBS, ABC, Fo... Okay, not Fox.
I've got 10 different news sites bookmarked for this stuff. I want Slashdot to make the politics connect to the stuff that I actually read Slashdot for.
I wish someone would be a good influence on you and teach you how to use a fucking apostrophe correctly.
My friend James likes to pureee and bake Iraqis with lemon grass then stick them up his ass.
His name was Robert Paulsen.

I think you are working with a different definition of democracy then the administration is.
having said that I think this administation would welcome any sort of a govt as long as Iraq is not allowed to join OPEC or to give french access to the wells.
evil is as evil does

I would like to ask you one question tonight, how did you like the freerepublic slowdowns during the debate tonight? Isn't it amazing that they always happen right before a donation drive? Why is that? They don't happen other times and the didn't happen on 9/11.
Check out the current cost for bandwidth too, the going rate is less than 1.50/GB in bulk and the fr budget makes provisions for a lot more that that.
It needed to be said.

*Note, grandparent was intened as sarcasm, which is why I referred to those beacons of goodness (and current CIA assets) Islam "Boil Them Alive" Karimov and Momar "Wasn't He One of the Big Terrorists Under Reagan" Khadafi. (i.e. They are exactly like Hussein was when he was a CIA asset.)
Though I endorse any chance to link to that picture.
