Do you really believe that the bush administration is tough on terrorism?
…NBC News has learned that long before the war the Bush administration had several chances to wipe out his terrorist operation and perhaps kill Zarqawi himself � but never pulled the trigger.
If you support a policy of taking action against known terrorists then why would you ever vote for bush or any bush supporters?

After reading this in the NYT Mark Kleiman says:
What makes me sick is that some of the CIA officers may get hung out to dry, but there’s no probability whatever that the lawyers safe in their Washington offices who approved all this garbage — in your name and mine — will ever be called to account.
There’s a simple principle that applies here. No human being, or small group, is fit to be trusted with absolute and unreviewed power over another human being.
Yet more reasons why waiting for an election may be waiting too long.
And at a certain point — though you’d imagine we’d already reached that point — having the Secretary of State openly contradicting the Secretary of Defense and the president on a matter of such grave concern to the country is a situation that simply cannot last.
So, does bush fire powell instead of the superb rummie?
Steve Verdon asks:
A video was released on a militant islamic websitie supposedly showing the beheading of an American.
……
Now for those who are clamoring for the full disclosure of all the pictures and videos of the Iraqi prisoners…do you favor releasing this video? If not, how do you explain your hypocrisy?
As one who advocates full disclosure at all levels of government I’d be happy to answer.
Yes, release the video. And, release pictures of the coffins both leaving Iraq and arriving home; release pictures of the dead and wounded in situ (be they American, British, Iraqi, or other); release pictures of everything.
