A fascinating story. Will we ever know how much is true? It's difficult to eradicate the notion that Saudis knew about Bin Laden's activities and were complicit in them by fending off Bin Laden form attacking Saudi Arabia.

Policy Lobotomy Needed
Friedman is close to having this right. Bush's team must decide how to move forward to win the peace. The war was one magnificently. With many of the 55 in the notoriouss deck now in American custody, we must get Saddam and simultaneously establish security and forward motion.
"I don't know what Mr. Bush has been doing on his vacation, but I know what the country has been doing: starting to worry. People are connecting the dots — the exploding deficit, the absence of allies in Iraq, the soaring costs of the war and the mounting casualties.

Worried Democrats See Daunting '04 Hurdles
This kind of talk will not help Mr. Dean. While people may fear John Ashcroft's sincerity in doing his job, vilifying him in the manner reported in the Times will not serve Dean in the long run.

"'John Ashcroft is not a patriot,' he said, referring to the attorney general's advocacy of the Patriot Act. 'John Ashcroft is a descendant of Joseph McCarthy.'"

Missy Elliot Wins MTV's Best Video Award (washingtonpost.com)
And we wonder why our youngsters believe anything goes. This trash drags the culture down while lining the pockets of the 'stars' and the industry that creates and sponsors them.
Now, I wonder if these folks, if polled, would vote for Howard Dean or George Bush. I assume they can all read beyond the numbers on their paychecks.

Dressed in the same kind of white bustier wedding dress that Madonna wore while performing "Like a Virgin" during 1984's inaugural show, Spears and Aguilera gyrated on stage while singing a cover of the not-so-innocent tune. Then, while Madonna sang her new song "Hollywood" in an all-black outfit, she shared an open-mouthed kiss with both Aguilera and Spears - proving the former teen stars have come a long way since their Mouseketeer days."
