Wednesday, Mark read a letter from a soldier to his mother.

If that doesn’t make you feel proud of what we’re doing in Iraq, then you just aren’t using your head! Here’s the text of the letter.

Mom,

Be my voice. I want this message heard. It is mine and my platoon’s to the country. A man I know lost his legs the other night. He is in another company in our batallion. I can no longer be silent after watching the sacrifices made by Iraqis and Americans everyday.Send it to a congressman if you have to. Send it to FOX news if you have to. Let this message be heard please…

I am in search of a new web host for this site. There are thousands to choose from, but I want to give my business to a company owned & operated by a Republican/conservative!
Mark Levin refers to them as “regular Americans”! LOL!
Please let me know if you have any suggestions! Thanks!

Tuesday, Mark received a couple great calls from regular callers!

Marge in Rockland County who always says “Clinton Happens” and John in Dublin, California who always offers Mark his tasty homebrew! John is also a regular on this blog!

Here’s Mark’s recent editorial in National Review Online.

Tortured Debate, Tortured Timing
What and why?

As I try to digest the debate over torture — or is it aggressive interrogation? (not sure, as the terms are not being defined) — I gather that it is sometimes understandable (or is it acceptable?), but not necessarily moral, to torture a potentially culpable detainee who might have information that could save a U.S. city. It is never moral — almost never understandable (or is it never acceptable?) — to torture (or is it aggressively interrogate?) an innocent person who might possess information that could save a U.S. city (although, if one possesses such information, and refuses to divulge it voluntarily, then is one truly innocent?).

Tuesday, Mark paid tribute to New York City police officer Dillon Stewart who was killed in the line of duty.

Now, guess what the NY politicians are proposing as the new solution to fighting crime? You guessed it, more gun control! Idiots!

Monday, Mark discussed the apparent liberal war against Christmas!

It’s hard to believe we live in a time when such a large number of people are turning their backs on religion!

Monday, a caller told Mark he wanted 15 minutes to explain why Mark was lying to America! LOL! Yah, right! LOL!.

It’s nice to hear Mark use the 2o second liberal clock! LOL!

Monday, Mark took a call from an illegal immigrant.

Knowing what Mark thinks about illegal immigration, I think he conducted a fair interview. Mark made some very good points and illustrated how difficult this problem is.

Monday, Mark discussed the President’s speech on securing our border from illegal immigration.

Folks, one of the best friends of US troops, each and everyone of them, is Bruce Willis. You know every soldier with Iraq dust on their boots will be uplifted when they hear about Bruce Willis planning to make a movie inspired by Michael Yon.

Roger Simon writes:

Bruce Willis is apparently making a film based on the superb Iraq War reporting of blogger Michael Yon.

From the Timesonline:

It will be based on the exploits of the heavily decorated members of Deuce Four, the 1st Battalion, 24th Infantry, which has spent the past year battling insurgents in the northern Iraqi town of Mosul.

Okay… finally a pro-democracy, pro-US involvement feature film about Iraq. I’m placing a bet right now this movie will go through the roof, to the consternation of many of Willis’ peers. Of course, that’s a risky prediction in the movie and political worlds, but considering the following from [yesterday’s] Washington Post (via Balloon Juice), I feel pretty secure about this one:

Seventy percent of people surveyed said that criticism of the war by Democratic senators hurts troop morale — with 44 percent saying morale is hurt “a lot,” according to a poll taken by RT Strategies. Even self-identified Democrats agree: 55 percent believe criticism hurts morale, while 21 percent say it helps morale.

That’s a lot of people who want to stand up and cheer for our troops.

Folks, check out Michael Yon’s site, http://michaelyon.blogspot.com

Here’s a sound bite created by WABC’s Mark Simone. Mark Levin and others have played this spectacular compilation. Listen up!

Play that for a Lib and watch it squirm! LOL!

The Former “Media Sweetheart” had a book signing in Crawford Texas on Saturday.
Question: If no one showed up, did it really happen? Maybe the MSM and Screwey Louie Farrakhan can help her out with the attendance numbers! LOL!

Here is an interesting story that I’ve never heard about. In a show of cool headed leadership and courage, a project dwelling, dope dealing, crack head (alledgedly) commandeered a school bus and rescued many people from New Orleans during Storm Katrina!

Just so happens that The Great One was in the other room!

Sean and Mark mop the floor with Ann Wright. She claims that after 35 years of working for the U.S. Government, she quit her job in protest of the Iraq war. Most “normal” people would call that RETIREMENT!

Now she has plenty of free time to camp out with Cindy Sheehan and the other maggot infested neo-libs!!

The two share their sentiments about the fine time that they are having at the Disney Resort.

Wednesday, Mark broadcast live from the Walt Disney World, Sarasota Springs Resort & Spa.

I like Mark, but I don’t think I would want to ride in a teacup with him! LOL!

While Hannity once again allows one of his liberal guests way too much time to antagonize the audience… Mark Levin stops by and has a little fun with this woman from PETA.

Tuesday, Mark read an article quoting comments made by Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

If you weren’t politically aware back during the aftermath of the 2000 election, read Mark’s book. It is exactly right. Then you will be prepared for the nonsense of the Left when they say Bush stole the election!

Monday, Mark played the audio of Ohio Congresswoman, Jean Schmidt, reading the following:

A few minutes ago I received a call from Colonel Danny Bubp. He asked me to send Congress a message: Stay the course. He also asked me to send Congressman Murtha a message: that cowards cut and run, Marines never do.

Woo hoo! That line ranks right up there with “You’re stuck on stupid”! LOL!

Here’s a note from Scott Hennen, host of Hot Talk WDAY Talkradio Network.

I have started an on-line petition, entitled STOP THE MADNESS-Support our troops and our President. This was born out of the immense frustration I was feeling and hearing from many listeners concerning the “debate” over the War in Iraq. I first mentioned it on-air Thursday and started with 2,000 signatures in 36 hours. Then Sean mentioned it and linked from his site late Friday, Powerline Blog gave us a plug Sat AM, and Cliff May posted a note on the Corner yesterday afternoon. Now we’re at 10,000 signatures.

My hope for this is to have the Talkradio/Blog world lead an effort to send a powerful message to Democrats and Republicans to buck up and display the nerve needed to win this war.

Thursday, Mark spoke with Tim Sumner about the actions of Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha.

Tim not only spoke with Mark, he emailed me the following commentary.

November 18, 2005

In 2004, the family of a soldier who was killed in the war in Iraq sent a photo to a member of 9/11 Families for a Safe & Strong America. According to the latter:

“You see a Marine in profile, that was taken in soon after our invasion and was on the front page of every newspaper in the country. It was on the wall of the military headquarters in An Nasiriyah. That was Thomas Slocum’s unit. I sent that picture to his mother and step father, Terry and Stan Cooper, and they immediately recognized their son’s unit, telling me it was taken by a photographer embedded with them. They recognized the photo. Nine Marines were killed in one action. The enemy pretended to surrender, then open fired with an RPG attack.” She added this question, “These are the people who should have lawyers and due process?”

(more…)

Thursday, a caller treated us to a couple Cape Cod Orca jokes.

Those were pretty good! LOL!

Friday, Mark described the Republicans’ action in the House to expose those who want our troops to pull out of Iraq.

As it turned out, the Libs chickened out! LOL!

I opened my email this morning to see a message alerting me to a new article by David Limbaugh. The title immediately caught my attention. He is exactly right; there is a media mania to withdrawal our troops from Iraq!

Withdrawal Mania

By: David Limbaugh

It is incomprehensible that Republicans are not jumping all over politicians who
are calling for a telegraphed timetable for American troop withdrawal from Iraq.

It took the administration and their colleagues in Congress some two years — and
double digit reductions in the president’s approval ratings — finally to take the
offense against the liars lying about the president’s non-lies on Iraq. Why are
they always relegated to playing catch-up?

When certain shrill partisans first leveled their accusation that Bush lied to get
us into war, few paid attention, on the theory that manifestly preposterous allegations
need not be refuted.

Texas Congressman Sam Johnson and Tom DeLay

Thursday, Mark spoke with Texas Congressman Sam Johnson about comments made today by Congressman John Murtha.

Why is this so difficult for the Left to understand? We are winning the war and we would win the war a lot sooner if our members of Congress didn’t undermine it!

Here’s an interesting item found on Human Events Online; Capital Briefs.

Mark Levin’s Job Applicant: Sam Alito

What would you do if you received a job application from a person who said his greatest influences in politics were William F. Buckley, Jr., the National Review and Sen. Barry Goldwater’s 1964 presidential campaign?

What if this applicant also conceded he was a lifelong Republican, who despite a modest income, had contributed to the National Republican Congressional Committee, the National Conservative Political Action Committee, the campaign of pro-life Republican Rep. Chris Smith of New Jersey and the New Jersey Republican Senate primary campaign of Jeffrey Bell, an early adviser to former California Gov. Ronald Reagan?

What if, in addition to all this, the applicant stated he was a member of the conservative Concerned Alumni of Princeton and the Federalist Society, and regularly attended the latter’s Washington, D.C., luncheon meetings?

In 1985, then-Associate Deputy Atty. Gen. Mark R. Levin (who is now president of Landmark Legal Foundation, an occasional contributor to HUMAN EVENTS and author of the New York Times bestseller Men in Black–How the Supreme Court is Destroying America, published by Regnery), forwarded the application of just such a person to the Reagan White House personnel office.

The White House approved the applicant’s promotion from assistant to the solicitor general to deputy assistant attorney general to Atty. Gen. Ed Meese. President Bush has now nominated this 1985 job applicant to replace Sandra Day O’Connor on the Supreme Court.

He is, of course, Judge Samuel A. Alito, Jr.
- Posted 10:00 AM

Folks, Frontpage which is an excellent information resource, has posted a stunning interview with former UNSCOM inspector Bill Tierney. Bill Tierney is a former military intelligence officer and Arabic speaker who worked at Guantanamo Bay in 2002 and as a counter-infiltration operator in Baghdad in 2004. He was also an inspector (1996-1998) for the United Nations Special Commission (UNSCOM) for overseeing the elimination of weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles in Iraq.

Read what Bill Tierney has to say about Where the WMDs went.

Thursday, Mark made a couple comments about opposition to Alito and due process rights for terrorists on NRO’s The Corner.

THAT’S THE BEST THEY CAN DO? [Mark R. Levin]
It appears the biggest objection by liberals to the Alito nomination is, in essence, that he’s a Reaganite. That should be a battle we can easily win.

DUE PROCESS HISTORY [Mark R. Levin]
It might upset Andrew Sullivan and others to learn that at one point during WWII, there were 11 million German POWs, and not one of them had access to a federal court. Today, even unlawful enemy combatants, aka terrorists, have access to federal courts and a laundry list of due process claims. Who would have ever imagined that the war on terrorism would be an occasion to expand rights and protections for would-be mass murderers?

Wednesday, Mark read an excellent editorial by Tony Blankley in the Washington Times.

An incontinent Congress
By Tony Blankley
November 16, 2005

Little good comes when Congress grabs control of American foreign policy and war-fighting strategies from the hands of a scandal-weakened White House. Of course, it is always possible that there are 51 forward-leaning, shrewd, patriotic, non-partisan senators assembled to make the tough, unpopular call to push on for victory, no matter how hard and long the struggle. (Giggle.) But it is vastly more likely that less noble instincts beat in the breasts of the several senators assembled.

Monday, for the first time, the foul odor of the Vietnam War denouement wafted through the Senate chamber during the debate on Iraq. The Democrats called for “estimated dates for the phased redeployment of United States Armed Forces from Iraq.” Phased redeployment was the maneuver the French executed in June 1940 in the days preceding the German occupation of Paris. Phased redeployment is what the Vietnamese boat people did as they swam for their lives away from their homeland.

THE HERITAGE GUIDE TO THE CONSTITUTION
By Edwin Meese III
Regnery, $35, 475 pages

One of the finest books I’ve read in a long time on the Constitution has just been released — “The Heritage Guide to the Constitution.” Its excellence is understandable as the guiding light behind this monumental effort is one of the finest men to serve as attorney general, Edwin Meese III.

The guide tackles an immense and complex subject (history and law) in a remarkably easy-to-read way. It deconstructs each section of the Constitution by topic. And within each topic, the reader is treated to a mini-history lesson and legal analysis by some of our nation’s top constitutional scholars.
(more…)

Monday, Mark reminded us the reasons for conservatives to be cheerful.

The MSM is on the decline! That’s reason to cheer! LOL!

In the past, our good buddy F. Lee has taken the time on his show to point out the heroic actions of America’s warriors during times of war. While on my honeymoon in Hawaii, I decided that I would pick out a fallen soldier, visit his grave at the Punchbowl (National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific), and tell his story when I got back.

When I walked into the visitor area of the Punchbowl, I noticed the pictures of 30 soldiers who were awarded the Medal of Honor and whose bodies rested there. It was there that I decided that I would visit the grave of Marine Corporal Larry Leonard Maxam. Maxam’s actions on the day of Feb. 2, 1968 showed incredible bravery and a great sense of devotion to his fellow marines. Maxam was just 20 years old when he lost his life that day in Vietnam. What follows is the official record of his actions.

Citation:

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a fire team leader with Company D. The Cam Lo District Headquarters came under extremely heavy rocket, artillery, mortar, and recoilless rifle fire from a numerically superior enemy force, destroying a portion of the defensive perimeter. Cpl. Maxam, observing the enemy massing for an assault into the compound across the remaining defensive wire, instructed his assistant fire team leader to take charge of the fire team, and unhesitatingly proceeded to the weakened section of the perimeter.

Completely exposed to the concentrated enemy fire, he sustained multiple fragmentation wounds from exploding grenades as he ran to an abandoned machine gun position. Reaching the emplacement, he grasped the machine gun and commenced to deliver effective fire on the advancing enemy. As the enemy directed maximum firepower against the determined Marine, Cpl. Maxam’s position received a direct hit from a rocket-propelled grenade, knocking him backwards and inflicting severe fragmentation wounds to his face and right eye. Although momentarily stunned and in intense pain, Cpl. Maxam courageously resumed his firing position and subsequently was struck again by small-arms fire.

With resolute determination, he gallantly continued to deliver intense machine gun fire, causing the enemy to retreat through the defensive wire to positions of cover. In a desperate attempt to silence his weapon, the North Vietnamese threw hand grenades and directed recoilless rifle fire against him, inflicting two additional wounds. Too weak to reload his machinegun, Cpl. Maxam fell to a prone position and valiantly continued to deliver effective fire with his rifle.

After 1 & 1/2 hours, during which he was hit repeatedly by fragments from exploding grenades and concentrated small-arms fire, he succumbed to his wounds, having successfully defended nearly half of the perimeter single-handedly. Cpl. Maxam’s aggressive fighting spirit, inspiring valor and selfless devotion to duty reflected great credit upon himself and the Marine Corps and upheld the highest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service. He gallantly gave his life for his country.

Signed, Richard M. Nixon

It’s hard not to be moved by the selfless actions of this brave Marine. Corporal Larry Leonard Maxam was the embodiment of Semper Fidelis and a hero. If you ever go to the island of Oahu in Hawaii, take the time to visit the Punchbowl. There you will find Corporal Larry Leonard Maxam and many other brave American heroes who rest there with him, including some of those who lost their lives on the USS Arizona. These men make me proud to be an American.

Friday, Mark commented about Libs advocating due process rights for terrorists on NRO’s The Corner.

UNDUE PROCESS [Mark R. Levin]
I am fascinated that those advocating due process rights (even U.S. constitutional rights) for the enemy, beyond those conferred on the Nazis or Communists, and beyond those compelled by existing domestic and international law, are viewed as the humanitarians in this debate. Torture is already illegal. In fact, mistreatment that falls below the torture threshhold — case in point, Abu Ghraib — violates military policy and is prosecuted. I am not aware that our government is employing torture against the enemy as a matter of policy. However, I am aware that certain foreign governments, self-appointed human-rights organizations and politicians have made the claim to advance their opposition to the war. I am also aware that the al-Qaeda handbook directs detainees to claim torture regardless of the nature of their treatment. We ought not set national security policy based, even in part, on these considerations.

Thursday, Mark spoke about his friend Rush Limbaugh and read the following NewsMax.com article that explains the legal case against him.

The Political Prosecution of Rush Limbaugh
Jim Meyers, NewsMax.com
Friday, Nov. 11, 2005

It has been more than two years since news first broke that Rush Limbaugh had an addiction to painkillers.

That news led to a criminal investigation of Limbaugh by Palm Beach County State Attorney Barry Krischer, who in December 2003 leaked to the media that his office had uncovered evidence of 10 felony counts, including “doctor shopping,” money laundering and drug trafficking. Despite the sensational allegations, no charges have been brought.

Worse, in the latest round between the State Attorney’s office and Limbaugh, Assistant State Attorney James Martz made a startling admission in open court on Tuesday as he sought a court order allowing his office to interview Rush’s doctors.

Liberals are so disgraceful, aren’t they?

Thursday, Mark spoke with a Master Gunnery Sergeant who read the following poem in honor of the 230th Marine Corps Birthday.

The test of a man is the fight he makes
The grit that he daily shows;
The way he stands on his feet and takes
Fate’s numerous bumps and blows.
A coward can smile when there’s naught to fear,
When nothing his progress bars
But it takes a man to stand up and cheer
While some other fellow stars.
It isn’t the victory after all
But the fight that a brother makes.
The man, who, driven against the wall,
Still stands up erect and takes
The blows of fate with his head held high
Bleeding, and bruised and pale.
He’s the man who’ll win in the by and by
For he isn’t afraid to fail.
It’s the bumps you get and the jolts you get
And the shocks that your courage stand,
The hours of sorrow and vain regret,
The prize that escapes your hands.
That test your nettle and prove your worth;
It isn’t the blows you deal.
But the blows you take on this good old earth
That shows if your stuff is real

Project Valour-IT
(Voice-Activated Laptops for OUR Injured Troops)
In memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss
November 2 - November 11 (Veteran’s Day)

Project Valour-IT, in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, provides
voice-controlled software and laptop computers to wounded Soldiers,
Sailors, Airmen and Marines recovering from hand and arm injuries or
amputations at major military medical centers. Operating laptops by
speaking into a microphone, our wounded heroes are able to send and
receive messages from friends and loved ones, surf the ‘Net, and
communicate with buddies still in the field without having to press a
key or move a mouse. The experience of CPT Charles “Chuck” Ziegenfuss,
a partner in the project who suffered hand wounds while serving in
Iraq, illustrates how important this voice-controlled software can be
to a wounded servicemember’s recovery.

http://soldiersangels.org/valour/index.html

That’s right folks! Here is your chance to show your support for the legislation being proposed in The House and Senate to break up this liberal activist court.

Link here to send a FREE message to your Representative AND both of your Senators, demanding that they support H.R. 4093, the “Federal Judgeship and Administrative Efficiency Act,” including the “Circuit Court of Appeals Restructuring and Modernization Act,” and S. 1845, the Senate’s version.

ALERT: Have you heard? Last week, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals — the same court that banned “Under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance — ruled that parents have no rights when it comes to what public schools teach their children.

Maybe you think I’m exaggerating? NO — that court stated, QUOTE: “There is no fundamental right of parents to be the exclusive provider of information regarding sexual matters to their children… Parents have no due process or privacy right to override the determinations of public schools as to the information to which their children will be exposed while enrolled as students.”

“No fundamental right of parents… no due process or privacy right…” It’s right there, in black and white. Parents now officially have no right to protest what public schools tell their children.

This Court is OUT OF CONTROL. It’s time for Congress to do their Constitutional duty, and rein them in. Thankfully, they may finally be stepping up to the task. (more…)

Slouching Toward Pampering the Enemy
Military tribunals are nothing new.

I would not have thought that four short years after 9/11, two branches of the federal government would be taking what are historically extraordinary measures to grant unprecedented due-process rights to unlawful enemy combatants held overseas. In 1950, in Johnson v. Eisentrager, the Supreme Court held it did not have the authority to take up a challenge by 21 German nationals held in China, who were tried and convicted by U.S. military tribunals. In 2004, in Rasul v. Bush, the Court reversed course and held that U.S. civilian courts would be open to foreign enemy combatants held overseas. I strongly criticized that decision at the time. And next March, the Court will decide whether the president has the authority to set up military tribunals in a case involving Salim Ahmed Hamdan, an al Qaeda member close to Osama bin Laden. Military tribunals have a long tradition in this country.

Monday, Mark spoke with a caller that mentioned some articles she read about the emerging Valerie Plame/Joe Wilson scandal.

Thursday, Mark read a NewsMax.com story about Tim Russert’s roll in the whole Lewis Libby/Valerie Plame debacle.

Thursday, Nov. 3, 2005 10:17 a.m. EST
Questions Raised about Tim Russert’s Story

NBC Washington bureau chief Tim Russert told Leakgate probers that he had no idea Joe Wilson’s wife Valerie Plame was a CIA employee before her name surfaced in Robert Novak’s fateful July 14, 2003 column, and that he was stunned upon learning that Lewis “Scooter” Libby claimed he got that information from him.

But an account by senior NBC correspondent Andrea Mitchell raises questions about whether Mr. Russert may have known about Plame’s employment well before the Novak column.

On Oct. 3, 2003, Mitchell was a guest on CNBC’s now-defunct “Capital Report,” where she was asked by host Alan Murray:

“Do we have any idea how widely known it was in Washington that Joe Wilson’s wife worked for the CIA?”

Mitchell replied: “It was widely known among those of us who cover the intelligence community and who were actively engaged in trying to track down who among the foreign service community was the envoy to Niger. So a number of us began to pick up on that.”

Mitchell’s “widely known” characterization flatly contradicts assertions last Friday by Leakgate Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, who repeatedly insisted that Plame’s association with the CIA “was not widely known.”

But perhaps more importantly, if Plame’s work was an open secret in media circles [according to Mitchell], how is it that her boss, Mr. Russert, who - as NBC Washington bureau chief was presumably monitoring developments in “the intelligence community” as they related to the Wilson story - would have been oblivious to this same “widely known” information?

Oh, Russert was “stunned”, was he? He’s going to be stunned! LOL!

Thursday, Mark read a WorldNetDaily.com article about a new book by Peter Schweizer called Do As I Say (Not As I Do): Profiles in Liberal Hypocrisy.

Now this looks like a good book! LOL! I’ll have to buy it!

Yes, you must have heard by now that Clinton told a great big whopper at the Rosa Parks memorial the other day. Nothing new there. Same old Clinton. However, Mark discussed why the premise of his false comments is particularly disturbing.

This is why Mark wears a hat with the words, “Clinton Happens!” LOL!

I suppose the NYCLU considers itself a high value target for terroists weilding bombs…nah, they have to believe conservatives are out to get them.

Hypocrisy is on show in a Manhattan courtroom today. The New York Civil Liberties Union will argue for the second day before Judge Richard Berman that the city’s subway bag search policy is an “unjustifiable erosion of the privacy rights of the American public.” Yet take a walk into the NYCLU’s Manhattan headquarters - which it shares with other organizations - and you’ll find a sign warning visitors that all bags are subject to search.

I love the smell of hypocrites in the morning.

Wednesday, Mark spoke about the differences between the actions of Sandy Burger and Lewis Libby.

The Republicans in the Senate need to get tough and go after Democrats like Sandy Burger! If anyone needs to be locked up, it’s Burger!

Wednesday, Mark read the following article in the Washington Post where classified information was reported.

CIA holds terror suspects in secret prisons
NEW YORK (AP) — The CIA has been hiding and interrogating some of its most important al Qaeda captives at a Soviet-era compound in Eastern Europe, according to U.S. and foreign officials familiar with the arrangement, the Washington Post reported.

I say, indict the Washington Post!

Tuesday, Mark spoke to Sean Hannity on his cell phone.

I love to hear the two of them interact like that! LOL! Both are great talk show hosts, but have an enormous difference in style!

Tuesday, Mark spoke to his buddy Andy McCarthy about prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald.

It appears that Mark & Andy are not on the same page this time. That’s rare!

This story should shut the Dems up with their, “Where are the weapons of mass destruction?” battle cry. But, we all know it won’t. Idiots!

It Wasn’t Just Miller’s Story

By Robert Kagan
Tuesday, October 25, 2005; A21

The Judith Miller-Valerie Plame-Scooter Libby imbroglio is being reduced to a simple narrative about the origins of the Iraq war. Miller, the story goes, was an anti-Saddam Hussein, weapons-of-mass-destruction-hunting zealot and was either an eager participant or an unwitting dupe in a campaign by Bush administration officials and Iraqi exiles to justify the invasion. The New York Times now characterizes the affair as “just one skirmish in the continuing battle over the Bush administration’s justification for the war in Iraq.” Miller may be “best known for her role in a series of Times articles in 2002 and 2003 that strongly suggested Saddam Hussein already had or was acquiring an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction.” According to the Times’s critique, she credulously reported information passed on by “a circle of Iraqi informants, defectors and exiles bent on ‘regime change’ in Iraq,” which was then “eagerly confirmed by United States officials convinced of the need to intervene in Iraq.” Many critics outside the Times suggest that Miller’s eagerness to publish the Bush administration’s line was the primary reason Americans went to war. The Times itself is edging closer to this version of events.

There is a big problem with this simple narrative. It is that the Times, along with The Post and other news organizations, ran many alarming stories about Iraq’s weapons programs before the election of George W. Bush. A quick search through the Times archives before 2001 produces such headlines as “Iraq Has Network of Outside Help on Arms, Experts Say”(November 1998), “U.S. Says Iraq Aided Production of Chemical Weapons in Sudan”(August 1998), “Iraq Suspected of Secret Germ War Effort” (February 2000), “Signs of Iraqi Arms Buildup Bedevil U.S. Administration” (February 2000), “Flight Tests Show Iraq Has Resumed a Missile Program” (July 2000). (A somewhat shorter list can be compiled from The Post’s archives, including a September 1998 headline: “Iraqi Work Toward A-Bomb Reported.”) The Times stories were written by Barbara Crossette, Tim Weiner and Steven Lee Myers; Miller shared a byline on one.

Tuesday, Mark read the Rockefeller memo which was published in The Hill.

Jay Rockefeller thinks he’s slick, but he’s not! What a disgrace! His plan is published for the world to see, but he continues to implement it! The plan is to sabotage our country! Unbelievable! Something has got to be done about this!

Rockefeller memo

Here is the full text of the memo from the office of Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WVa.) on setting a strategy for pursuing an independent investigation of pre-war White House intelligence dealings on Iraq.

We have carefully reviewed our options under the rules and believe we have identified the best approach. Our plan is as follows:

1) Pull the majority along as far as we can on issues that may lead to major new disclosures regarding improper or questionable conduct by administration officials. We are having some success in that regard.

For example, in addition to the President’s State of the Union speech, the chairman [Sen. Pat Roberts] has agreed to look at the activities of the office of the Secretary of Defense, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, as well as Secretary Bolton’s office at the State Department.

The fact that the chairman supports our investigations into these offices and cosigns our requests for information is helpful and potentially crucial. We don’t know what we will find but our prospects for getting the access we seek is far greater when we have the backing of the majority. [We can verbally mention some of the intriguing leads we are pursuing.]

In an ever increasing trend by local governments to generate more property tax revenue, “view” taxes are being assessed. But what is a properties scenic worth when you are blind?

‘View Tax’ Triggers Revolt in Rural N.H.
By KATHARINE WEBSTER
Associated Press Writer

ORFORD, N.H. The one-room cabin David Bischoff built in a cow pasture three years ago has no electricity, no running water, no phone service and no driveway. What it does have is a wide-open view of nearby hills and distant mountains _ which makes it seven times more valuable than if it had no view, according to the latest townwide property assessment. He expects his property taxes to shoot up accordingly.

Bischoff and other Orford residents bitterly call that a “view tax,” and they are leading a revolt against it that has gained support in many rural towns in New Hampshire. (more…)

It was good to hear The Great One on the air in my hometown of Hartford, CT.
He visited with conservative talk show host Jim Vicevich at WTIC Radio and discussed the Alito nomination.
