Where’s the blowback?
JD Lasica has a post that wonders why no one is running with the story that Bush engineered a connection between Iraq and 9/11. I think, strangely, that this doesn’t come as a shock to most Americans. I have a feeling that a lot of people knew that we were on thin ice in invading [...]

It would have been perfect for my course at UW, where students had to envision the world at 2010 (or 2008, depending on the section :). Definitely worth a watch. (via Yu-Tsui) * I’ve often wondered about this. [...]
