  • Colin Powell has one last go [xinhuanet.com] at convincing the world once again that somebody has WMD on extremely flimsy evidence. You would think that at least they would have the sense not to use the guy who got caught blatantly lying about it last time. But then again, it worked before, why not give it another try?
    • Rice should be a lot less forthright, "Bin Laden Determined to Strke in the U.S." being a historical document and not a warning.
