two other items to remember

The death of Pat Tillman, hero of the pro-war crowd, appears to be a re-run of jessica lynch episode--only it is a bit more disgraceful because there was a lot of underhanded and illegal changing of testimony allowed to cover up the fact that he was killed by friendly fire. Also, it turns out, he was a big Chomsky fan and thought the war w/ Iraq was illegal. go figure.

Also, TPM is pursuing the Abramoff ("lobbiest" who basically, according to Josh Marshall, ran a slush fund) with really interesting results--including evidence that the US AG pulled a state attorney in Guam off his case a few years ago. Are there no depths...
