Things that get by you. . . .
Do you know what we just saw? We just saw the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff tell the Secretary of Defense to sit down and shut up. In public. In front of reporters.
To review the bidding:
Pace: “It is absolutely the responsibility of every U.S. service member if they see inhumane treatment being conducted, to intervene, to stop it.”
Rumsfeld: “I don’t think you mean they have an obligation to physically stop it. It’s to report it.”
Pace: “If they are physically present when inhumane treatment is taking place, sir, they have an obligation to try to stop it.”
This is bigger than you can imagine. Rumsfeld has lost the US military. There’s nothing left for him but to resign or get fired.
Thanks to Making Light (There's more there.)

Wow! Here's the Transcript for that press conference.
Yea, but the rumor that he's going to be replaced by Lieberman is even more disconcerting. I'm glad the military has finally had enough.

Fox has just reported that most (except for one) of the charges against Rep. Tom Delay have been thrown out.
You must be spitting nails!
Cindy who?
