#1 Posner says, after recounting alot of this information, that they were all mistaken. Now, that's not really credible, is it? I think he was led astray by his government sources.

Do you think John Doe #2 is Hussain al-Hussaini or Jose Padilla, or someone else entirely?

#2 I want to believe this, but I feel like I have to approach it with the same skepticism as the 9-11 conspiracy theories.

Regardless, McVeigh was killed too soon. Should have let him rot for 25 years and gilled him every 4 months. Too many unanswered questions.

#3 Nice job Mike. I remember hearing how Clinton was relieved to find a white dude to stick this on. Sorry that it's now going to the grassy knowle area of history.

I think we are at war with Islamic nuts. I think their leaders and money men should be exterminated. Bummer!

#4 Yeah, the Feds rushed judgment at the time, and later exhonerated the Saudi government for its facilitating role in the massacre of 3,000 Americans on September 11, 2001. Facts have no currency in this sick, sick world.

It is my judgment that George Walker Bush's attempt to export the American social-political system to Iraq, is a irreparable failure. The non-governmental workers are currently locked in compounds, and will return to work when hell freezes over. If elections are ever held in that savage country, the winners - the Islamofascist Shia oligarchy - will exterminate the Turkemen, Kurd and Christian minorities. If that is "freedom," then Hitler must have been a "freedom fighter." So what's the cover-story?

#5 MBD - wow! Have a cup of coffee. While I agree it's been disappointing to see the Iraqi's fail to get with the program, it's a bit over the top to throw in the towel so early. It's far too soon to assume that the little brown folk are incapable of democracy. Without the meddling of Iran, Syria and SA, and some key hits on the right "leaders", I still think they have a chance of moving forward.

I'm glad Bremer's going to be replaced soon. Not to disparage him, he's done a fine job, but I think it's time we get someone fresh to look at the situation anew. I'm not so sure about Negraponte (sp?). I just don't know enough about him.

I still wonder if we shouldn't just carve them up into different states, as was proposed before the war. Whatever, I believe that the people are capable of democracy - it's those already in power that are having a problem with the idea.
