The Early Morning Quickie.

Langley, We Have a Problem. The CIA may be in danger of flipping from an independent civilian intelligence service to another arm of gov't bureaucracy. Good and impartial intelligence surrenders.

Moussaoui Begins Life Sentence in Supermax Prison. Prisoner 51427-054 now begins the 1st day of a very long stay in the "grey bar" hotel.

Cheney Penned Note About Plame, Filing Shows. Special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald just about ready to kick indictments into high gear.

McCain Reconnects With Liberty University. Didn't McCain label the Rev. Jerry Falwell one of the political "agents of intolerance" six years ago?

Entire Town Is Listed as Endangered. National Trust for Historic Preservation wanted to make a point about teardowns and people enjoying outhouses; sorry, no indoor plumbing and modern conveniences allowed here.

Student Actors Didn't Expect a Legal Drama. Days before the curtain was to go up on the students' production of "Chicago," attorneys for the musical's authors fired off a letter ordering them to "cease and desist," citing copyright infringement?

Backlog At Borders, Cracks in The System. "What Congress has built is one of the most expensive revolving doors in the world". Isn't securing the border part of a grand national security plan? I, again, want to thank the GOP for keeping us safe. [sarcasm]

PoliticalCorrectness? out.
