As of 9 pm Saturday night, the nation's major newspapers are weirdly reticent about Prime Minister al-Maliki's striking (make that extremely striking and indeed extraordinary) statement to Germany's Der Spiegel that a timetable for US withdrawal from Iraq makes sense: "U.S. presidential candidate Barack Obama talks about 16 months. That, we think, would be the right time frame for a withdrawal, with the possibility of slight changes." According to this major magazine, "In his conversation ...

Yesterday's Times printed a shockingly belligerent Op-Ed by the Israeli historian Benny Morris arguing for devastating strikes now against Iran so as to forestall an Israeli nuke strike, or better yet, nuclear war in the Middle East. Datelined Li-On, Israel, the fearful piece feels a little like being crammed inside a Cairo ministry in 1963 as Israel was weaponizing. Should the Times run such feverish stuff? Compare to Haaretz, which runs a truly-noble piece called ...

(updated below - Update II) Former Congressman Harold Ford appeared at the Netroots Nation conference yesterday, argued that Bush officials shouldn't be held accountable for crimes they committed while in office, and then insisted that Democrats shouldn't be expected to defend civil liberties and Constitutional rights because -- as one observer summarized Ford's point -- "the Constitution doesn't poll very well." In arguing against prosecutions for Bush lawbreaking, Ford said that Bush officials already have ...

By Sarah HamburgerCouncil on Hemispheric AffairsJune 26, 2008http://www.alternet.org/story/89431/Presidential hopeful John McCain is hiding a skeleton in his closet. Not your typical political scandal, Senator McCain's dirty little secret is his longtime involvement with the International Republican Institute (IRI), an organization that operates in 60 countries and is budgeted by millions of US taxpayer dollars each year. The IRI is "officially" a politically independent entity, though in reality it is aligned in most respects with the ...

Raw Story: In a supplement to his responses to the House Judiciary Committee, Patrick Fitzgerald confirms what we've always suspected: Karl Rove was trying to have Patrick Fitzgerald fired while Fitzgerald was still investigating Rove for his role in leaking Valerie Wilson's identity -- and the timing lines up perfectly with the Administration's efforts to fire a bunch of US Attorneys.
