My take on some news of the day: "Murtha’s plan to curb war funds flops" - I think the headline should have just simply read "Murtha Flops". This guy is supposed to be a big-time war veteran. He is a big-time idiot. From the story: "To be sent to battle, troops would have to have had a year's rest... Sign in to see full entry.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled "that civilian courts no longer have the authority to consider whether the military is illegally holding foreigners". Good for them!
