Brian Faughnan at the Weekly Standard blog has a post up today on how the far left has been foaming at the mouth, demanding denunciations from Republicans and apologies from Rush Limbaugh himself after comments he made on his program earlier this week that to them suggested that he thought that troops who had served in Iraq who were critical of the Iraq war were “phony soldiers.”
The WSJ reports today on how bloggers and other citizen journalists are keeping the world informed about the situation in Myanmar:
I’m a little behind on blogging about this, as it was first reported by Ben Smith at The Politico a few days ago. Howie Kurtz reports on it today (emphasis added):
Rmemeber the story from early last month where, during a traffic stop in Goose Creek, SC, two men who were described by witnesses as being of “Middle Eastern descent” were arrested after police found explosives in the trunk of their car? Initially, indictments were handed down in Tampa against the two Egyptian nationals for “transporting explosives materials without permits.”
The leftosphere is erupting in predictable outrage after the publishing of a transcript of a conversation between the President and then-Prime Minister of Spain José MarÃa Aznar, a conversation which took place about a month before the war in Iraq began. Spain’s El PaÃs daily newspaper published it, and the Editor and Publisher has a translation of it, which is, as you’ll soon discover a very poor translation.
I’m a bit busy this morning, but wanted to link up quickly to Michael Goldfarb’s post at the Weekly Standard on the revolution happening in Myanmar, as he’s got the latest news. If you’ve read up on this story the last several of days, you’ll see how nasty it’s getting there, with the military beating up and firing on – and in some cases, killing monks and others who are protesting. Malkin’s covering the story as well, and has several links of interest related to what’s happening.
