Iraq's yellowcake was under IAEA control. Actually, after the US invasion, one of the facilities was left unguarded and a lot of material went missing, so if it does wind up in the hands of terrorists, we can blame the US invasion. But that is neither here nor there -- it is in fact quite disputable that Iraq was trying to get more yellowcake; the only evidence that turned up about it turned out to be forged. Mint juleps are a Kentucky drink, not a Nigerien one. You're completely full of shit.
It's public knowledge that the CIA asked for an investigation because they felt she was covert. The idea of Joe Wilson, whom Bush Sr. hailed as an American hero, being a "bitter partisan for a long time" is beyond ludicrous. It's also public knowledge that the yellowcake documents were forged, where have you been? The CIA asked for an investigation because they felt the intelligence agency had been compromised (whether or not there was a direct harm from it, the precedent of leaking undercover agents was not something they could allow). She was not on the cover of a magazine until after her cover was blown. She did not "let her husband write a letter to the NYT" - I'm pretty sure Joe Wilson is allowed to write letters without his wife's permission.
It has nothing to do with the issue of leaking. But what it does show us is that when our fear of terrorism gets the better of us, it creates a self-fulfilling prophesy.
when I got my clearance I signed a letter to the effect that at any time for the rest of my life if I disclose classified information I am subject to X thousands of dollars in fines and Y number of year in a federal prison.
Apparently if you are important enough you can skip that signing part when you get a clearance.
No, no... you just get to set X and Y equal to "0".
I can't believe I'm taking this bait but here we go. If Valerie was not covert, the CIA would never have asked for an investigation. If leaking her name was legal, the whole issue could have been settled with a simple phone call (not even a tapped one!) from Fitzgerald to the CIA. The CIA is the only entity in any position to tell us whether or not VPW was covert. Finally, Scooter is being charged with lying and obstructing justice, not with violating the IIPA.
These people defending Libby make me sick. It's one thing to minimize the nature of his crime, or to claim that the CIA wasn't doing a very good job of protecting VPW's cover, but it is quite another to act like Scooter is some kind of hero for this. Who knew that the Republican party would have a wing that is openly pro-treason.

First, I think this story is transparent BS. I don't think any of it happened. But let's assume it did; the false choice the poster presents at the end -- either have your websurfing habits faxed to the field agent or face rape and disease -- is the most ludicrous thing I've heard all week. Exactly how were his websurfing habits relevant? In what way did that information save him from a night in jail? Why would he need to be detained until those records can be released? Never mind the tenuous link to him being raped.
I have the Klipsch iGroove - one-unit speaker with iPod firewire input - and it sounds pretty good for a one unit speaker and can really fill up a decent-sized room. If you want higher-end sound quality for this price range, go with a pair of powered studio monitors like the M-Audio BX-5's (which you should be able to pick up for about $250 for a pair) or even the Roland MA-8s which run about $80 and deliver a nice clean stereo sound. The drawback is you have to go in from the iPod's audio out rather than firewire, but the sound will be much better than any of these units can promise.

You should submit it to NASA!
They are too busy monitoring calls between American citizens within the United States.
What the heck is a "beowulf cluster"?

You might also look up Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, an Afghan warlord the CIA supported directly. He recently pledged allegiance to OBL.
They also say it is longer lasting and far more powerful.

Bill Clinton does the same thing and he gets impeached.
They are being given two more beers!
So they can celebrate being able to violate federal law over and over with impunity.

don't forget pen input! plus you can make as much origami as you want...
we were led to believe there would be punch and pie.
Good idea!
If it was 1998, that is.
but only for exceptionally low values of "unlimited."
He's just big-boned.
I'm intrigued by your ideas and would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

OK, OK, I'm leaving. Sorry about that...
