Gregory vs Bush

This morning Bush held a little press conference, and David Gregory hit him with one of the hardest possible questions concerning his new torture bill: What if other countries adopt our standard of “interpret the Geneva conventions as we see fit”? Check out the exchange.

Also a fantastic bonus at roughly the three minute mark. Transcript later if I get the time.

IAEA blasts US report on Iran

It’s Iraq all over again. Echoing 2002, the US House Intelligence committee wrote a report concerning Iran’s nuclear capabilities, and the IAEA is saying that it’s all wrong.

The U.N. nuclear watchdog agency has written a scathing letter to a congressional committee saying part of its case against Iran is “outrageous and dishonest.”

The International Atomic Energy Agency wrote the leadership of the House Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, lambasting it for claiming that the Islamic republic “is currently enriching uranium to weapons grade.”

Then they get into lasers and other such odd proposals. Now, given the track record, who are we to trust? I know the common thought is “we can’t take that chance”, but that can be used against anyone. If we fabricate a threat, we can always say it’s too risky to ignore, because what if it IS true that France has a moon laser pointed at Washington, DC?

Afghanistan accomplished nothing, Iraq is a mess, third time’s a charm, right folks?
