AFGHANISTAN

Barack, Johnson, Nixon... Obama is now vacationing at Martha's Vineyard according to his flacks... he is about to read five books! Not one of these books is about Afghanistan. I guess that Obama feels that reading about Afghanistan would be a waste of time since he is already being educated about it by Admiral Mullen, Bob Gates, and Stan The Man McCrystal.

Obama has signed off on a new rendition policy which seems to mimic the Cheney ideas, except now the state dept lackeys will supposedly see to it that individual human rights are withheld. This is really comforting to know.

Eric Holder, the benefactor of Mark Rich announced the appointment of a justice dept person, not a special prosecutor, to investigate the alleged CIA abuses. Why isn't the role of Chaney and his cohorts being scrutinized? Why are Donny Rumsefeld, Condi Rice and Collin Powell exempt from having their actions examined? What did Junior Bush authorize? What did he know? What's going on?
