<font size=4><font color=blue>"Web of Connections"

<font color=black>Apparently in the Eye of the Beholder

So, when successful lawyers in Houston know prominent Republicans in the state (including Karl Rove), the New York Times calls that a <font color=blue>"web of connections"<font color=black> between the White House and a 527 group led by one of those lawyers. And we are treated to a chart such as the FBI might prepare in a prosecution of top Mafia leaders.

But when Saddam Hussein's intelligence officials repeatedly met with top Al Qaeda leaders -- something a little more unusual than lawyers knowing politicians -- I don't remember seeing the phrase <font color=blue>"web of connections"<font color=green> used in the New York Times. Or a chart.

Am I the only one who finds that a bit odd?<font color=black><font size=3>
