Whopper of the Week: Karl Rove, Ari Fleischer, and Dick Cheney by Timothy Noah

Well, it looks like Talbot's statements do have some basis.

Salon.com News | Democracy held hostage

"When White House vizier Karl Rove and Ari Fleischer feed an egregious lie to the public about why the president did not immediately return to the White House on Sept. 11 -- insisting that Air Force One and the White House were under threat -- and then try to spin their way out of it when the story unravels, that does not inspire confidence."

Was the White House lying about why Bush didn't immediately return to the Capitol Sept. 11? David Talbot seems to think so, though unfortunately, he doesn't fully explain his remarks.

I've been thinking about that luggage story -- why would someone planning a suicide air attack bother packing up a suitcase?

Hijack instructions found in luggage

The first time in history an airline's luggage screwup has been a good thing.

Well, it looks like the New York trip is still on. MBV finally checked her e-mail from Europe, and said she still wanted LS and me to come. Let's hope my flight plans haven't been completely screwed up. As much as I'm trying to avoid letting terrorists alter my way of life, I can't get around how much the context of this visit has changed in the last three weeks. Not only am I nervous to fly for the first time in my life, a certain sense of solemnity and even gloom has replaced the excitement I felt before. Funny how a terrorist plot can ruin a good trip.

The funny thing is, MBV didn't seem at all fazed by the fact her hometown has been attacked by terrorists. I guess there really is something different about New Yorkers.

Just when you think The New Rupublic is moving too far to the left. A nicely argued essay.
