To everyone but himself in a televised rally paid for with state funds, in a corruption scandal of his own administration’s making. It’s literally amazing. He proudly boasted he would plead the fifth in court Tuesday. In nearby coastal St. Bernard Parish, Katrina’s storm surge swamped an estimated 40,000 homes. In a particularly low-lying neighborhood on the south shore of Lake Pontchartrain, a levee along a canal gave way and forced dozens of residents to flee or scramble to the roofs when water rose to their gutters.

When President Jalal Talabani said that al-Yawer was ill, senior government officials including Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Chalabi howled with laughter. Judith Miller probably had a good day in jail when […] Ignore the headline of this Knight-Ridder story and read it. It’s the best piece of journalism on Iraq in weeks if not months. Why are they doing so poorly? Maybe this is the reason: (the author is OU Daily alumnus Hannah Allam) BAGHDAD, Iraq – Iraqi investigators have uncovered widespread fraud and waste in more […] |
