"We in Al Qaeda Organization announce that there is no truth to these claims, which are only based on the imagination of the politicians of the Black (White) House and their slaves,"

And you thought this was all confusing before?

Al Qaeda in Iraq says Zawahri letter is fake: Web

The sources said an informant in Iraq who provided the tip had told investigators about a terrorist plot involving New York's subway system. That informant admitted he gave false information, the sources said.

And now we can look forward to this being touted as a success of the anti-terror measures.

"I have a list of 13 terror attacks that have been prevented by..."

The White House initially would not give details of the 10 plots that Bush mentioned in his morning speech before the National Endowment for Democracy, saying some information remained classified. But in the evening, the White House released a fact sheet with a brief, and vague, description of each.

No. This is not credible in any way shape or form. They have been saying for years that these guys operate on a cell system, so busting one has zero impact on any others. There is NO reason not to try and publicize these as they happen. Saying it happened is not enough.

Bush: U.S. Foiled at Least 10 Terror Plots

Abu Mazen, Palestinian Prime Minister, and Nabil Shaath, his Foreign Minister, describe their first meeting with President Bush in June 2003.

Nabil Shaath says: "President Bush said to all of us: 'I'm driven with a mission from God. God would tell me, "George, go and fight those terrorists in Afghanistan." And I did, and then God would tell me, "George, go and end the tyranny in Iraq …" And I did. And now, again, I feel God's words coming to me, "Go get the Palestinians their state and get the Israelis their security, and get peace in the Middle East." And by God I'm gonna do it.'"

God told George to invade Iraq??? Ummmm... Is the Oval Office a padded room now?

I don't quite have words to describe this. Sad, but not in my normal sarcastic meaning. Tragic maybe?

Stephen Elliott: Eulogy For A Knight Ridder Stringer Killed By American Soldiers At A Roadblock In Iraq

The government argued that America's enemies might exploit the pictures for propaganda purposes by saying the photos represent the attitudes of all Americans toward the Iraqi people.

The judge acknowledged such a risk but said "the education and debate that such publicity will foster will strengthen our purpose, and, by enabling such deficiencies as may be perceived to be debated and corrected, show our strength as a vibrant and functioning democracy to be emulated."

Thank you Judge Hellerstein. That position is exactly why the United States is a great country.

Judge Orders Release of Abu Ghraib Photos

"Al Qaeda Organization in Iraq ... has declared war against Shi'ites in all of Iraq," said the voice on the audio tape, sounding like that on previous recordings attributed to Zarqawi. No immediate verification was available.

And now, Iraq officially descends into civil war. Gee, never saw this coming...

Fifteen have been hospitalized and 13 of those were being fed through tubes, Behrens said in a written response to questions from The Associated Press. Medics are monitoring all 89 and checking their vital signs daily, he added.

I see that we're getting plenty of valuable information out of them. When people get to this point, something is very seriously wrong.

"I wouldn't be here this morning if President Bush had done the one thing required of him as commander in chief — protect and defend the Constitution,"

I didn't say it, a CIA guy did!

Israel's ambassador to London Zvi Heifetz accused the mayor of expressing sympathy for Palestinian militants.

"It is outrageous that the same mayor who rightfully condemned the suicide bombing in London as perverted faith', defends those who, under the same extremist banner, kill Israelis," he said in a statement.

Actually I don't think that's what he's said at all. Understanding why someone would be angry enough to go to this sort of bombing is not the same as condoning it. In fact, it's probably the most important thing in preventing more people from taking that route.
