Slate: "In a court filing on Friday, the administration announced its intention to deny Guantanamo Bay detainees full access to counsel to prepare their habeas corpus petitions and signaled that it would resume its relentless legal tactics to fight the detainees in the courts on a host of procedural issues."
Asia Times: "'Pakistan is not sending its troops to Iraq.' So reads the most recent handout from the Pakistani Foreign Office and the clearest signal yet that President General Pervez Musharraf is finally attempting to distance himself from the United States' sphere of influence, even if only for domestic expediency."
Boycot Bush and his war profiteers.

This is obviously a doctored billboard, though the picture of the young Bush seems genuine. But is this the real Bush? He looks like Bush, he talks like Bush, so it is Bush. Nevertheless, this is too good to be true. This is a drunken Bush, apparently on a wedding party. But why no security guards? Because he's with friends? (Reason enough to blend out the interviewer.) It must be Bush on the booze again. I watched the video ten times.
Update: After some heavy research, I found this:
"If George W. Bush ends up in the White House, The Smoking Gun would like to be the first web outfit to formally offer Dubya an artifact for his future presidential library. The Republican's wacky performance in this 1992 wedding video excerpt - shot years after Bush went cold turkey in July 1986 - needs to be preserved for future generations.
The video was shot at the August 29, 1992 wedding of Jamie Weiss, the daughter of Dubya's close friends Mike and Nancy Weiss. Mike, a Lubbock, Texas lawyer and CPA, was Bush's campaign chairman during his first political race (an unsuccessful 1978 congressional bid) and was one of the Texas governor's earliest political appointments."
Now you know all about it.
