...John Howard worked tirelessly as an M.P. for 33 years and our Prime Minister for almost 12. His list of achievements far outweighed his mistakes. While the far left will be celebtrating his defeat for months, the fact is that he lost because Australians wanted a change and Kevin Rudd campaigned brilliantly, offering a low-risk "me too" alternative but with sharp differences from unpopular Howard policies, particularly industrial relations, where his campaign was helped by a multimillion-dollar campaign by the trade union movement. Howard will be remembered as an outstanding PM who ultimately outstayed his welcome. Good luck...

...Context is everything in these recordings. For example, the complaint says Omar once asked Shain if he was "with them." In response, Shain said, "God willing, we will see." We don't yet know what was said before or after that. At another point, Dritan seemed stunned by a list of available weapons provided by Omar, saying "There was some stuff on the list that was heavy s___." The broader context will come out during the trial, and the defense attorneys are combing through the transcripts. "I get more confident the more stuff I read," says Troy Archie, attorney...
