WaPo's Friday goodness
» Posted by Jon at 12:13 am :: Comments (0)
I occasionally even read the Politics Daily newsletter from the Washington Post that I've subscribed to. Friday's held too many interesting headlines. Here are the ones I clicked on:
- CIA to Air Decades of Its Dirty Laundry: The CIA will declassify hundreds of pages of long-secret records detailing some of the intelligence agency's worst illegal abuses -- the so-called "family jewels" documenting a quarter-century of overseas assassination attempts, domestic spying, kidnapping and infiltration of leftist groups from the 1950s to the 1970s, CIA Director Michael V. Hayden said yesterday.
- Cheney Defiant on Classified Material:Vice President Cheney's office has refused to comply with an executive order governing the handling of classified information for the past four years and recently tried to abolish the office that sought to enforce those rules, according to documents released by a congressional committee yesterday.
- Guantanamo Splits Administration (O.k., this one's mostly because I went to college with one of the writers.)
- Radicalism is Destroying Muslim Societies (RealClearPolitics, which I've never read before)
- Will the Progressive Majority Emerge? (The Nation)
- 'The Left' Moves Front and Center E. J. Dionne: Whenever you use the word "left" in American politics, you feel almost compelled to add quotation marks. Today's left is not talking about nationalizing industry, abolishing capitalism or destroying the rich. What passes for "left" in American politics is quite moderate by historical standards.
- Cheney: Neither Here Nor There? Dan Froomkin: The House Oversight Committee is demanding that Vice President Cheney explain himself. Is his office part of the executive branch? Part of the legislative branch? Or is Cheney suggesting that as far as federal rules are concerned, his office essentially doesn't exist?
