Another in a series of resignations from the Bush administration. And another. And then, Rand Beers, number two in the leadership of the war on terror resigns perhaps because Iraq is diverting attention.
Interview with Robert Fisk who is in Iraq and not embedded.
After reading Seymour Hersh on the false Niger documents one does not quite get a damning case that the CIA or Bush knew the documents were false and presented them anyway. The CIA has of course an option to plead incompetence. Not a very nice thing to have to plead. I will do two things now: search for what Senator Jay Rockefeller has to say about his (Hersh mentions him at the end of the article as calling for an FBI investigations) and get a link regarding the college paper that found its way into Colin Powell's presentation to the UN.
I am trying to get some hard facts on the forged CIA documents I mentioned...I heard that the falsified documents were the ones that showed Iraq to have sought to buy nukes from Niger; the signature was said to be that of a operative 14 years since retired. We must try to get the truth out
. I'll post again when I've got something.

[6:] Announcements
03/22/03 The present political and social climate, including the invasion of Iraq, has prompted me to finally return to blogging. This site is not designed for daily updates of news and a blogger's accompanying point of view, but rather for archiving of inter-related thoughts on art, literature and philosophy. The development of these interconnections may still display my old truancy but I will update almost daily my Recommended Links. If the Raptor software turns to be too cumbersome for use in this way, then I will get MoveableType software for my daily announcements and links, which I hear is really easy to use, and continue the Vannevar project with Raptor at a reasonable pace.
