Reuters: "President George W. Bush insisted on Tuesday a new Iraq security plan
is making gradual progress, despite the deaths of nine more U.S. troops
and another major bomb attack."
DailyMail: "Twelve US soldiers were killed today in one of the deadliest days
suffered by American forces in Iraq since the start of the war. The
troops, engaged in "combat operations" outside Baghdad, were killed in

NSWBC: "The
National Security Whistleblowers Coalition (NSWBC)
has obtained a copy of an official complaint filed by a veteran
FBI Special Agent, Gilbert Graham, with the Department of Justice Office of the
Inspector General (DOJ-OIG). SA Graham's protected disclosures report the violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act
(FISA) in conducting electronic surveillance of high-profile U.S. public officials."

NewYorkTimes: "I. Lewis Libby Jr., the former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, was convicted on Tuesday of lying to a grand jury and to F.B.I. agents investigating the leak of the identity of a C.I.A. operative in the summer of 2003 amid a fierce public dispute over the war in Iraq."
Huffington: "Before the GOP spin machine kicks into high gear, shouting from the mountain tops that the Libby verdict
is just about making false statements to the FBI, and that no one was
ever charged with the underlying crime of outing Valerie Plame, let's
make it clear that Libby was found guilty not just of perjury but of
obstructing justice -- obstructing justice in order to encumber the
investigation and keep secret the dark, ugly truth about how the White
House sought to cover up its lies about Iraq and its efforts to
intimidate and silence critics of the administration. But
the cover ups are unraveling. And they are unraveling at a speed and in
a quantity that guarantee Bush's legacy will both be marked by the
tragedy of the Iraq war, and soiled by corruption, indictments, and
convictions."
ThisIsLondon: "Dick Cheney has been diagnosed with a blood clot in his left leg,
leading to speculation he will be forced to resign as U.S.
Vice-President."
