Big News from GB & Conn

I suspect that the administration is going to use yesterday's arrests as part of a campaign to shore up the war in Iraq. For my own part, I do not think the news works well for the Administration. One wonders whether Al Queda (assuming they are responsible) would have been able to manage this type of plot were we pursuing and harassing them throughout the world instead of wading around in Iraq. In short, it appears as though our true enemy still lurks about years after 9/11.

In other news, I saw one editorial arguing that Joe Lieberman's defeat in Conn. signaled the radicalization of the Democratic Party by the anti war fringe. Fringe? Radicalization? According to polls, over 60% of the public want out of Iraq. What is radical about that? What is fringe about an opinion held by the majority of Americans. (Of course, Karl Rove can make jaywalking sound like anarchy, so stay tuned for the spin.)
