Interesting:

House Judiciary Committee Democrats, spearheaded by Congressman John Conyers (D-MI), are set to release possibly the sharpest congressional critique to date surrounding Iraq, RAW STORY has learned.
The report, titled “The Constitution in Crisis: The Downing Street Minutes and Deception, Manipulation, Torture, Retribution and Coverups in the Iraq War,” is slotted to be made available to the public Tuesday.

That’s got to be a big book if they are covering all those topics.

Via Eschaton, Dana Milbank gets to the heart of the White House’s latest Iraq marketing strategy:

This is why the “victory” strategy is brilliant: As my sage colleague Al Kamen points out, Bush is taking the Potter Stewart approach. I don’t know the definition of victory, but I know it when I see it. While the president has put himself in position of being the sole arbiter of victory, he has managed to make all his opponents appear to be advocating the opposite, which is defeat.

Pretty simple when you think about it: Bush’s policy = victory; those opposing him want defeat.

Came across a couple yesterday:

Ha ha.
If C-SPAN assembled a list of top House moments of 2005, this should be one of them.
