On the Beat

NOTEWORTHY

  • JA pulls the facts from Cheney's official vitae (the secret vitae, we all suspect, is ... riveting reading), that he started the "peace dividend", not Clinton-42.

  • The "Texas justice" mess over AG firings may not be over yet, says ML at Balkinization.

  • "We The People" are losing in the cloakrooms of National Security, where the tradeoffs between Liberty and Freedom are being made.

    Legal discovery, let along prosecution, to ensure accountability in National Security matters appears increasing remote. 21st century "wiretapping" is the province just for the princes of the Senate (who, in a twist of fate, are largely powerless to actually do anything to curb abuses, as we have found out in the recent torture mess).
