Old and new

The Central Intelligence Agency on Monday paid tribute to 89 colleagues lost in the line of duty, including two CIA employees killed during the past year while conducting missions in war zones.

CIA Director Michael V. Hayden told the stories of those officers and others whose sacrifice is commemorated on the agency's Memorial Wall. Relatives of more than 30 fallen CIA officers were in attendance Monday.

"We come together, generations old and new, to pay special tribute to those we have lost in service: Men and women, never far from our minds, who loved their country - believed it is worth working for, fighting for, even dying for, so that all that defines America will prosper and endure."

What else can't we say?
By Joel Richardson, WorldNetDaily, May 19, 2008

The United States is about to be tried. At stake are the very freedoms that we all hold so dear. On March 27, the United Nations Human Rights Council voted to adopt resolution 7/19 on “Combating defamation of religions.” In one of the most Orwellian resolutions ever passed, this so-called “Human Rights Council” condemns “Islamophobia,” which includes any, “attempts to identify Islam with terrorism, violence and human rights violations.”

Addendum to post #10 michigander
Also, TrickyD!ck at least had the decency to resign from office rather than disgrace it--unlike Bubba, who continued therein.

The idea of prolonging the scandal does seem to be something that would come out of cirrhotic-Teddy's mind--though it in a sense backfired (incompetent Jimmuh got narrowly elected, and would likely have been a single-term-only anyway).
