Cindy Sheehan, the soldier’s mother who galvanized the anti-war movement, said Sunday that she plans to run against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi unless she introduces articles of impeachment against President Bush in the next two weeks. Sheehan said she will run against the San Francisco Democrat in 2008 as an independent if Pelosi does not seek by July 23 to impeach Bush. That’s when Sheehan and her supporters are to

Public Editor Clark Hoyt has a piece in today’s edition, that ends as follows: I went back and read war coverage for much of the month of June and found many stories that conveyed the complexity and chaos of today’s Iraq. Times reporters wrote that Iraq’s political leaders were failing to meet benchmarks that would show satisfactory progress to the American government, that a formerly peaceful Shiite city in southern

Although you may not like what you get. TigerHawk does an excellent piece on the Pew International Survey results that Gleen touted and I posted on here.

I don’t think Bob will be upset if I reproduce his response letter in full: Mr. Colford, Let’s be blunt about what you mean when you claim, “Iraqi police officers often will speak to reporters only if they are guaranteed anonymity, for security reasons.” The fact of the matter is that because so many Iraqi police officers were

in leftist rhetoric? Hmmmm. Over at Newshogger, Libby takes issue with my earlier post on the strange piety of Bilal Abdulla. It’s not surprising that one of the Glasgow doctors who was arrested for the basically failed bombing attempt is a Sunni who is upset by the Iraq occupation. It’s also no surprise that Protein Wisdom’s resident genius fails to make the connection between the unnecessary invasion and toppling of
