Thus making her the first Democrat ever on the wrong side of the Saipan sweatshop scandal. And she won’t give it back.

This is what Democracy Looks Like.
In which idiot O’Reilly once again picks a fight he will lose, just as he did with Al Franken.
“Senior Inteligence sources” say, despite Cheney’s wishes.
er, i mean, the iraqi parliament’s out for summer.
or is it:
parliament’s out for summer
parliament’s out forever
parliament’s (and all of iraq) has been blown to pieces
Iraq is celebrating this, especially the hero of the game:
“I want America to go out,” he said. “Today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow, but out. I wish the American people didn’t invade Iraq and, hopefully, it will be over soon.”
Mahmoud also said he will not return to Iraq to celebrate.
“I don’t want the Iraqi people to be angry with me,” he said. “If I go back with the team, anybody could kill me or try to hurt me.”
Iraq, whose only World Cup appearance was in 1986, dominated the Saudis, three-time Asian Cup champions. Iraq joins the United States, Brazil, Italy and host South Africa at the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup along with the champions of Europe, Africa and Oceania.
Elation was juxtaposed against the tragedy in the players’ homeland. Coach Jorvan Vieira and Mahmoud wore black armbands during the postgame news conference to commemorate the dozens of fans killed back home during celebrations following Wednesday’s semifinal victory over South Korea.
Children are starving in Iraq under the US occupation, refugees in their own country.
Most of this article is inaccurate and borderline deceptive in its description of the domestic spying details, however note this information towards the very end:
This latest chapter of trouble for Gonzales comes as the Bush administration is trying to speed through a “significantly narrowed” group of changes to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act before Congress leaves Washington for its August recess.
One of the changes would ensure U.S. authorities could intercept communications between suspected terrorists overseas without a warrant when those communications — due to modern technology — may travel through a switch in the United States.
According to a letter obtained by CNN, Director of National Intelligence Mike McConnell informed House and Senate leaders Friday that the administration is willing to temporarily shelve the broader FISA reform plan it’s been advocating for months. The goal would be to immediately push through a smaller package of changes that would “close the critical gaps in our intelligence capability in the short-term.”
The letter describes an “urgent” need for the intelligence community to provide warnings.
In his national radio address on Saturday, Bush pressed for Congress to approve changes the 1978 act.
This is a great summary of the 3 1/2 hour hearing from last Tuesday. Note the exchange about who sent Gonzales to intimidate an extremely ill Ashcroft on March 10, 2004.
So the Washington Post, and the New York Times, the paper that thinks they own the domestic spying story, tell us that the “other intelligence activities” Gonzales referred to were data mining. We’re also supposed to think that after Comey objected, the practice ended. This would have been in March 2004. Well, maybe there’s something to it. But I don’t think that they’re stonewalling this desperately over just that. I think someone else was given access to the databases, and that these people worked for Karl Rove.
