Ambassador John Bolton, also raised some eyebrows - though committee spokesman Jamal Ware said the report was bipartisan and was begun before Fleitz joined the staff...
...Much was made of Cheney's venting, and it is a bit too easy, after six years of this bilge, to dwell on the Vice President's aura and miss the essential felony of the Bush White House-that it has tried to run a war without bipartisan support.

The Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund expects to file a lawsuit shortly to overturn Hazleton's ordinance, which Cesar Perales, president of the New York City--based advocacy group, says is "unconstitutional and discriminatory." Perales cites a legal analysis by the bipartisan Congressional Research Service that suggests Hazleton's ordinance, by creating penalties for those who aid immigrants, may be trampling on an area of law that is under federal jurisdiction. "You can't have every little town deciding the conditions under which illegal immigrants are going to live there," he says...
