TGIF at the 5:30 Report
The bloggers have been busy today. Very busy. Take what you read with the usual caveat - you don't really know the source. But, in many cases, these bloggers are scooping the mainstream media. Take a look at how both worked together this week in keeping all of us updated on the Karl Rove story.
With that in mind, let's roll out the on-air blogs we mentioned today. A very ugly and unsettling picture is being painted by relatives of some U.S. military personnel in Iraq. The blogger has a letter. Actually, a couple of them. Here's a quote:
I'll direct you to a couple of last night's updates (scroll down the page a bit), but want to add this to update that adds information about ANOTHER big article. This time, it's the NY Times on the Rove story.
Here's your weekend reading assignment. It's going to be really hot in most parts of the United States. Especially, here in the South, where we are. Follow the link from this blogger. Print the article about our Middle East involvement. Take it out on the deck with a cool drink. A BIG, cool, drink. Read it. And learn. Or click the comments and argue about it. The blogger says:
Friday history lesson. Bloggers with archives can be valuable. Oh, the wheels do turn slowly. It's the CIA/Rove story. Two years ago. And today. Have we moved at all?
And, here's your weekend worry to consider. Iran. Attack. We use nukes. Remember the stories about how we were moving military resources into the area? This is the latest. As the bloggers say. Scary. If true.
And, one final "Rove Connection" link. Ari Fleischer's name is coming up more and more frequently in the Rove stories. The problem is - his story seems to be changing:
And, can somebody tell me how extending Daylight Savings Time another month will save energy? The argument is that we won't have to heat our homes as much in the winter. What about running the doggone air conditioner more in the extended summer?!?!?

My son in law in Iraq said they are being pressured round the clock to re-enlist or face stop loss. They are being offering $30,000 tax free signing bonus, and told if they don't re-enlist they are going to be Stop Lossed and get zero dollars. They are pushing the troops round the clock to re-enlist. Mark got only three hours sleep in 48 hours but when he got back he was again faced with re-enlisting. Mark said many guys are scared and are signing up, and their families at home are very upset -- for good reason.

Just about all thats needed to know is in this article. This should be the bible of why were in the mess that we find ourselves in today.The author, W. Patrick Lang, was on the panel today at the hearing regarding Public Disclosure of Covert Agents.Col. Lang is president of Global Resources, Inc. and former defense intelligence officer at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA).

Coming soon: Fleischers lawyer explains how one can peruse a document without actually seeing it.
