Visit Juan Cole for critical stories

See these important Informed Comment posts while Deep Blade prepares for finals

I've been busy giving exams the last few days. I don't know how Juan Cole stays on top of all this stuff, but he certainly has been doing an amazing job. Here are some key links into Informed Comment:

Another secret British memo reveals Bush war planning. Even more has come out since I posted on the Goldsmith legal memo.

Bombings, military blunders, contractor fraud, civilian deaths, and the deteriorating condition of children. If you guessed that this all is in America's Iraq, you'd be right.

Student riots and insults to the Kurds. Missed these stories in the bloviations from the local newspaper.

Israel spy inside Pentagon. Lawrence Franklin finally was arrested but not charged with espionage. Juan Cole asks, ``When will AIPAC be made to register as an agent of a foreign power?'' Cole has been all over this story since August. Deep Blade has lots more links into Informed Comment and other related items here.

Thank you Juan Cole. Now shouldn't you be attending to your exams?
