The US has built the biggest embassy in the world in Baghdad. Problem is, no one wants to serve in it. The State Department, under Condi Rice, is considering forcing diplomats to move to Iraq. In a town hall meeting, one diplomat criticized the policy calling it a "death sentence." They were told that their names wouldn't be placed on a list if they were critical of the policy. And if you believe that I have some Iraqi WMDs I want to show you.

Juan Cole says the embassy should be closed.

Missing Constitution

I just read two horrible stories about torture done in the name of the US government. In one, an illegal immigrant was detained for almost one year and was not given urgent medical care. He had a cancerous growth on his penis, and he is dying. In the other, an Egyptian who was believed to be a terrorist (later found not to be) was told by the FBI to confess to his crimes or his family would be tortured by Egyptian authorities.
Is this the US? Will a candidate for the highest legal position in the country, Michael Mukasey, be confirmed for his position when he can't even say for certain whether waterboarding represents torture? This torture technique was introduced in the Spanish inquisition, and was a war crime in WW II. If he doesn't know that its torture and that the US is in serious trouble, we need someone who can do the job.

I want my country back.
