However the Miers nomination turns out, the fact that Bush submitted it is an unflattering reflection on his character. In the Federalist No. 76, Alexander Hamilton writes that the Senate’s role in confirming appointments is designed to make the President Isn't his Miers nomination also an unflattering reflection of the Senate? If Bush was worried that their standards were high, his nominee maybe would not have been so weak. Which comes first......the chicken or the egg? ted

Can't find Osama, but we got his barber! Al Qaida 'barber' arrested gulf-news.com Baghdad: US forces in Iraq said yesterday that they were holding a man suspected of acting as a barber to senior Al Qaida militants and helping them change their appearance to evade capture. The man, named as Walid Mohammad Farhan Juwar Al Zubaydi "aka 'The Barber'", the US military statement said was arrested in Baghdad on September 24, the day before US troops caught up with and killed a militant they described as the most senior Al Qaida leader in the capital, Abu Azzam. "'The Barber's' duties included altering senior Al Qaida in Iraq members' appearances by dying hair colour, altering hairstyles and changing facial hair in their efforts to evade capture," the military said in the statement. Also detained on Sep-tember 24 was Ebrahim Mohammad Subhi Khayri Al Rihawi, the military said, naming him also as Abu Khalil and calling him a "close associate" of Abu Azzam. "[He] served as an executive assistant for the terrorist emir. He also acted as a banker for Azzam and stored the terrorist organisation's funds so they would not be confiscated should Abu Azzam be killed or captured," it added.
