I'm forcing myself to write something. Here are a few news stories that are catching my attention:
A teacher in Ephrata, Washington has grown a beard for five years since September 11, 2001 and says he
won't shave it off until Osama Bin-Laden is captured (CNN). I hope he isn't waiting for Bush to do it since it's not a top priority for him.
Meanwhile, our administration attempts to gut the Geneva Conventions so that we can mistreat people. It's an ends-justifies-the-means sorta thing. Tony Snow argues that the conventions are too vague. Lt. Col. Geoffrey S. Corn, former chief of war law for the army JAG says, "Duh. That was intentional." Josh Marshall has the commentary and quotes: TalkingPointsMemo
Finally, it turns out that experts in the field of nuclear weapons and proliferation have something to say about a Republican House panel report on Iran: it's wrong, misleading and contains out and out falsehoods. This is all starting to sound vaguely familiar. The Washington Post has the details:U.N. Inspectors Dispute Iran Report By House Panel
